    Any matches where fighter does ropeadope?

    Are there any boxing matches where a fighter completely tires out another opponent by laying on the ropes?

    The only ones I know are Ali vs Foreman or Mayweather vs Ndou

      The Rope-A-Dope is dead, the new era of boxing does not allow it anymore. Sad reality, whenever a boxer tries to apply that technique the ref gets involved even if the fighters are not taking clean punches they will stop the fight. To pull off a successful rope a dope now adays you have to doge every punch clearly, once a few punches land on the gloves or shoulder and you dont throw back (cause you rope-a-doping) the refs get involved and force you to throw back (killing your rope-a-dope) by saying shme me something. This is why I like refs like Steve SMoger, Frank Cappuccino etc they allow the fight to play out on its own they dont steer it the way they think it should go with their referring.
