Page 13 - Frank Sasso Boxing Footwork

You’ll soon see that these top tier boxers match their footwork with their
boxing style:

A head-hunting style boxer with perpetual forward motion will use their
footwork to ensure they are in prime position to strike with power while
ensuring they aren’t in a position to end up off balance.

A defensive style boxer will use their footwork to stay slightly out of range
and create angles that ensure their opponent is never able to land a clean shot
or back them up into a corner of the ring.

I highly recommend checking out footage of the following boxers:

Pernell Whitaker

Take a look at any discussion on the internet regarding the boxer with the best
footwork and I guarantee you’ll find mention of Pernell Whitaker.

Pernell built his career on his strong defense, elusiveness and
counterpunching prowess.

nd
Pernell ‘Sweet Pea’ Whitaker was born on the 2 of January 1964 and
amassed a record of 40 wins, 4 losses, 1 draw and 1 no contest before
passing away on July 14, 2019.

Sugar Ray Robinson

Widely regarded as the greatest boxer of all time Sugar Ray Robinson

rd
(Walker Smith Jr) was born on the 3 of May, 1921 and amassed an
outstanding boxing record of 173 wins, 19 losses, 2 draws and 2 no contests.
Robinson passed away on the 12 of April in 1989.
th
Floyd Mayweather Jr

It’s hard to argue against claims of the Floyd Mayweather Jr being the best
defensive boxer to ever do it with a perfect record of 50 wins and 0 losses

(27 wins coming by KO). Born February 24, 1977 at 43 years of age
Mayweather continues to compete in ‘exhibition’ matches, with his most
recent victory being over the brash Irish MMA star, Conor McGregor.
Mayweather currently has a bout scheduled against Jake Paul which I cannot
imagine being anything other than a one-sided beatdown.

Be sure to check out Mayweather’s wins over Pacquiao and Canelo Alvarez.
