Everything that needed to said...has already been said.
But Wlad Klitschko has far superior foot placement, stance & footwork to Deontay Wilder...and he's still getting KO'd in 2-3 rds. :mjpls:

There are too many fighters to name that didn't have the most ideal & fundamental footwork, stance & positioning and still had hall of fame careers.
nikka get the fukk outt a here :empire:

nikkas always hate on tim
Anyone hating on TB is foolish. @Newzz ain't in this thread.....breh donde esta? Props for all the opinions. I agree completely footwork is the basis of boxing. Good footwork is :takedat: Pretty boy loma footwork is like porn. @LauderdaleBoss referenced Khan, who has improvedtremendously, is still often in place to get ktfo. Sorry @LeVraiPapi Berto has the most cringeworthy footwork.

Footwork bruh. And that'll be the difference in the Mayweather/Pac fight. Floyd footwork is excellent & he's rarely out of position whether offensive or defensive

The Sweet Science
The obvious answer is footwork but then again if you are skilled enough with the hand
techniques you can compensate for a lack of footwork( or high level footwork) Pacquiao to some degree falls in this category. Fast feet but very often off balance and out of position he has very smart hands though.

I spared this old head back when I had been
relatively new to the gym. My dude was like 50 60 years old, slightly paunched, balding
and wore this big ass Patrick Ewing knee brace.

So when he asked if I wanted to do some work I was laughing like Charlie Murphy when Prince asked him to hoop!
BIIIIIIGGGGG mistake! By far the biggest L
I ever ate.

This old man couldn't move but nullified every bit of offense I could muster
with a pawing jab and a fukking lobster cage for a fukking guard than he proceeded to lay into me with just obscene power shots to
the body. Keep in mind I'm new to the sport
so while I got a solid core that ain't shyt to a boxers core

Worst beating I ever took but I'm so fukking appreciative because it changed how I looked at the sport I love, and gave me such a new outlook and understanding of the sweet science.

Ninjas like Manny give me a sweet science hard on mega n/h. Manny has his own brand of footwork that's not remotely close to textbook, but he along with roach have developed offensive footwork and defensive jabs if that makes any sense. Mikey Garcia's footwork is godly as well.
