    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?

              Hopkins was great off the ropes as well. Watch the trinidad fight for examples, and countless other fights.

                im not actually a big fan of ali on the ropes...besides foreman it was just a thing he did when he got old and way past his prime....it worked against him vs frazier....mayweather is a great one, manny did good vs cotto on the ropes where he spun him and knocked him down in round 4, hopkins is a good one he wrote a good instrutional in ring mag recently about fighting off the ropes...
