Boxers footwork

[Larry the boss]

If you have watched any Bernard Hopkins fight in the last 10 years and still don't understand the importance of footwork, you never will. If there is one thing that should be BHop's legacy to the sport, it is economical footwork. Footwork alone kept 48 year old BHop from getting "Krushed." Kovalev knew if he stepped into the danger zone he was the one that was going to pay for it.

Yes

Can't forget Floyd/Baldomir.

Yes

Postol owned Matthysee through footwork.

Pac stood in front of opponents while in guard but his footwork while attacking was incredible, causing opponents to stop throwing.

Hugely underrated/overlooked footwork; Calzaghe. He would place himself in awkward positions, including the crazy face-to-face, that made guys uncertain about throwing. Meanwhile he's just raining on them. He, being a southpaw, made it even more awkward for opponents.

And hell yea

Mijares/Rafa Marquez is a great example if anybody watched it.

So true about Calzaghe. He made Lacy look just as flawed as he was all along. Lacy could have learned from it, but he really didn't. Calzaghe and prime Hopkins would have been fun. Some think Hopkins naturally would have beaten him, but I'm definitely not convinced. Put them both and at 30 and I definitely see Joe getting the better of him. Put them both at 35 and it's closer. Either way, Joe was brilliant with the footwork.

Roberto Duran had excellent footwork,, especially for a guy on the attack. I mention him because he's underrated in this department.

Lets look past speed and look more at position, certain fighters can limit other fighters offense due to pure footwork/foot positioning...while fighters may look explosive against some against others they are very limited.

List some fighters who limit others offense solely on foot positioning and effective movement.

Zahir Rahim, never gets any love. Terrible.

He dared to be great. What more can you ask for? You don't fight Salido caliber opponents in your second pro fight. And he bounced back in a big way.

i meant disappointed in the result, not disappointed in loma.
still a huge fan of him lol
and thats exactly wat i like best about loma. going for salido level in second pro fight.
