Who else is there except Tunney and Ali?

Billy Conn had great footwork.

Billy Conn is a former light heavyweight champion not heavyweight champion.

Greg Page, if you count holding the WBA as being a campion.

Actually Louis himself gave Conn credit for obtaining and holding the title for several rounds during their fight. But he goes on to mention that Conn simply could not seem to hold on to said title and ultimately was forced to relinquish it back to Louis by fights end.

Jim Corbett had good footwork. Tunney ows a lot of his style to him.
Ezzard Charles also had good movement, although he was not a "dancer".
Larry Holmes had excellent legs during his prime.

-KOKid-

Holmes, Page, Tubbs, maybe Tucker.

Jimmy Ellis and Herbie Hide were pretty good 'dancers' also.

check out walcott at the beginning of this clip. NOW THATS INCREDIBLE FOOTWORK!

Trevor Berbick did a funny dance when Tyson hit him :-)

Corbett, Tunney, Walcott, Ali.

Are these the best picks?
