    Manny pacquiao to some extent because his subtle movements can be hard to catch up to. The hector Velasquez fight showed us this.
    Miguel cotto had it all. A solid jab. Heart. Chin. Movement. Ring generalship. I miss that prime cotto.

    All I can remember right now. Floyd may weather did it twice. Once against Hatton and also Jesus Chavez. Only as an adaptive tactic not a normality
    Mayweather has done in plenty. He's obviously a slick boxer but he's very rough aswell especially the way he bends the rules inside with elbows and such.

    He's willingly stood toe to toe and walked guys down plenty of times despite being slick and defensive.

      James toney its also awesome, his first fight with mccalum its pure greatness.
      Sweet pea of course, his fight with Diosbelys hurtado really shows it.

      I am surprised no one mentioned Mike Tyson at his prime his head movement was just superb, and i am sure everybody will agree that iron mike its Rough
      The first one I thought of was a prime Mike Tyson too. Surprised he didn't get mentioned.

        I thnk I meant for an entire fight. Those two made it so he had no choice and no out from it f that makes sense. But you are correct.
