Blueprints:The fights which revealed how to beat certain fighters

[Toney616]

Ali-Frazier I: set the blueprint of how to beat a short left hook dominant fighter. Rahman, Douglas, Holyfield and Ike would all some form of Ali's tactics when they fought Tyson/Tua

Toney-McCallum II: McCallum was throwing mainly left hooks, left jabs and circling to Toneys left, away from his counter right, Jones and Griffin would use this stragey when they fought Toney

Morales-Pacquaio: showed that Pac is vunerable to the left jab, straight right combination, Jmm would use the same offensive attack during his second fight with Pac.

Can anyone here think of any more?

Forrest vs Mosley......Shane can be beat with the Jab

Fres Oquendo showed that if you counter punch and make Chris Byrd become the aggressor it is a way to beat him. For Byrds next few title defenses everybody did this and Byrd barely retained his title each time. Even Klitschko did this when he won the title from Byrd.

You could also say that Oscar De La Hoya layed out the game plan for Hopkins on how to beat Trinidad.

Cotto-Torres: Torres lost but he got off to a hell of a start with volume punching. Cotto doesn't deal well with pressure.

Duran vs. Leonard I and II- Although Duran had one loss on his record going into the first Leonard fight, Leonard showed in their first meeting how to neutralize Duran's relentless attack. Although he lost the decision, he clearly had a working strategy going into the second fight, a strategy that caused Duran to quit in frustration from Leonard's footwork and outside combinations.

Forrest vs Mosley......Shane can be beat with the Jab

I havent seen that fight, I do know that Shane had no answer for Oscar's jab during the first 6 rounds of their rematch

off topic: Does Mora have a good jab?

Ali- Frazier 1 also showed that it is possible to beat Ali by outworking him and cornering him.

Is Byrd-Oquendo an entertaining fight?

You could also say that Oscar De La Hoya layed out the game plan for Hopkins on how to beat Trinidad.

I was thinking of that as well. His use of lateral movement and feints gave Tito a very hard time

Ali- Frazier 1 also showed that it is possible to beat Ali by outworking him and cornering him.

Good example, do you know of any other fighter which used this tactic against Ali?
