the greatest fighters fighting off the ropes?

Who are some of the greatest fighters fighting off the ropes? I will name a couple who i think are good.... Nigel Benn was a monster off the ropes... so many times he would be in trouble on the ropes and turn the fight around with a massive punch. Floyd Mayweather... on the ropes the guy is a wizard and its almost impossible to catch him clean. Anybody care to add their own favourites?

I always wondered why they never fought? I thought it would of been a no brainer at 130. I don't know to be honest. I doubt either one feared the other. Promotional issues? Network? No pressure? Beats me.

Nelson fukked up Fenech off the ropes in the rematch. He did. Damn I love Azumah. Could box, brawl, showboat, fight in so many different ways. Someone needs to bring back the crab defense :(.

Brian Mitchell was another great fighter and in retrospect, it's shocking these two didn't throw down. Mitchell would've given him hell the way Fenech did but I think Azumah had too much talent, too much variety in his game and I would've expected him to tough out a close, hard-earned UD.

How would a Nelson-Brian Mitchell fight at 130 have played out? Brian Mitchell was another great fighter and in retrospect, it's shocking these two didn't throw down.

Check out his rematch against Fenech, the Gomez bout, Sanchez, Cowdell...one of the greatest fighters in an era filled with them. How would a Nelson-Brian Mitchell fight at 130 have played out?
