        Yeah, he used his footwork....u could really see it when other fighters readily would put their fists in his face.

            Harry Greb had great footwork never in the same spot for a second very quick around the ring alway on his toes and his great stamina made keep up this for the full fight.

                  George Foreman was a master at cutting off the ring. His punch technique and whatnot was sloppy but he had a lot of sneaky skills.
                  Ricky Hatton wasn't the best technician but he was so goddamn quick on his feet. Say what you want about the dude, he was very good at applying pressure.
                  Roberto Duran could loosely be described as a brawler, I suppose
                  Jack Dempsey? Maybe? He liked to blitzkrieg opponents and if you see him get at Willard, he comes in at weird angles that Willard can't handle.
                  Julio Cesar Chavez was almost inescapable in the ring. Unless you're Sweet Pea.

                  Damn was I late to this party. Not one original name

                    I lean toward Gatti especially earlier in his career, but his foot work in Ward II and III were classic for a brawler of his stature.
