    Boxers who had great footwork?

    Jersey Joe Walcott, he was a great mover in the ring to watch vs Louis, showed great footwork.

    Roy jones, had really fast feet, he could move really quickly to get in a position to get off a shot. Could easily change directions. Had really good balance to.

    Hopkins, some might think im a little crazy but Hopkins had really good footwork. he pretty much mastered it. Great balance and his all round stance. Hopkins is top 5 for me. watch him fight vs southpaws!

    Ali, has to be up there of course, he was probably one of most fluid boxing movers when it comes to footwork. really good mover

    Early Holyfield, was always on his toes, bouncing up/down. Could get really nice angles and moved round with ease. great lateral movement

    Who do you think had great footwork?

              His ring IQ and reflexes are his best attributes, but without his footwork he wouldn't be where he is.

                  Julio Cesar Chavez, George Foreman, Roberto Duran, and Jeff Fenech were all very good at cutting off the ring.
