    Good footwork dont get you knocked out... Be serious...

    It's Rigo. Then Rigo again... THEN Mayweather. Mayweather probably has the best upper body movement though...

      One fighter comes to mind, and that's Adrian Broner.

      This kid is sensational. I've never seen a fighter move around the ring like he does, his shoulder roll is fantastic also. Truely the GOAT

        Mayweather has good footwork, but his reflexes are exceptional. That's where he truly shines.

        I've never seen anyone with better reflexes except this old asian dude with a long white beard catching flies out of the air with only his fingernails.

            Gamboa's footwork is poor and always has been. There's a reason he's been down so many times in his career. Difference between having great reflexes/speed and great footwork.

              I should've saved that one, that way I can annoy some drunk Bromo later. Oh well

                Rigo comes as close to perfect as can be Mayweather is pretty flawless as well, also Pacquiao does his Bruce lee **** pretty well but i wouldn't call it perfect he falls in the same category Gamboa does mostly great footwork but reckless execution.

                    there aren't a ton of fighters with great footwork right now.

                    i'd say bradley, but his legs go straight jello if you hit him hard enough



                    hopkins had amazing balance and fundamentals, but he's so far gone now that i cannot list him among the best. his footwork was what i call "cute." he lied to you in there.

                      They're the three I was going to say.

                      Ward's subtle with it, his positioning is very good.
