    Boxers who use footwork as their main form of defence

    Can anyone tell me fighters who use footwork as their main form of defence? I'm talking about guys like: Nunn, Martinez, Ali etc.

        Floyd Mayweather is great at this, everyone knows he's extremely fast with his hands but he moves in and out of distance probably better than anyone in the sport right now.

          Pacman uses the bobbing and weaving defense, but his footwork is solid
          Wlad, I'm not really familiar with that guy

              not familiar with Yuri, is he any good?
              Khan uses the turtle shell as his main defense

                wlad doesn't use his footwork as the main defence, his defence is a left hand in your face holding you back from reaching him, like a grownup, holding a little kid by the head as he swings

                  His footwork is solid, but I'm thinking more like Martinez, guys who carry their hands low and use a lot of lateral movement

                    I wasn't sure if the guy who mentioned Wlad was a joking or not. But I'm thinking of guys like Nunn
