    Wasn't Ali fairly proficient at going backwards?
    yea ali was good at slipping punches while going backwards but he didnt make you pay for missing while going backwards

      I think Sonny Liston would disagree.

      Anyway, Joan Guzman is a good name to add to the list. That dude looked great against Humberto Soto going backwards, and Soto is no pushover.

        Ali was better. He threw most of his best punches while moving back.

                tell that to George Forman. He was chasing Ali the whole night while Ali was backing up peacking shots until he found his opening, and a highlight reel was born.

                Whittaker was also good going backwards
