    Balance...another trait a lot of fighters lack

    Balance allows you to go from defense to offense quickly.....notable fighters who lack this is...Amir Khan and Canelo..i could not put my finger on what they were missing but that is what it is.. name more who could be better if they learned how to transfer weight while maintaining balance

      Juanma Lopez has to be at the top of this list. His lack of balance is legendary.

            I think thats the difference between having good balance and being off balance. Martinez at his best could actually switch instantly from defence to offense, I'd say its more his style that relied on his athleticism that kept him off balance and in hairy situations but also allowed him to get off alot of shots from awkward angles/directions which made him so great.

              Tito always comes to mind when people discuss balance.

                  Khan, Seth Mitchell, Pacquiao and Marquez have bad balance. Khan has bambi legs.

                    David Lemieux has terrible balance. When he goes crazy, his own momentum sends him staggering if he misses.
