        Hopkins is a good one, a master at his trade. Hmmm who else. Maybe Chris Eubank?

            LaMotta definitely, unfamiliar with Sanchez, worth watching?

              Nobody embodies this more than Alexis Arguello imo.

                Salvador Sanchez, Juan Manuel Marquez, Floyd Mayweather

                Many technical fighters are often slow starters

                    James Toney often got better as the fight progressed. His fights with Nunn, Charles Williams, Reggie Johnson, Mike McCallum, Vassiliy Jirov, among others, proved this. He is one of those special fighters who could fight well on experience and instinct when he was tired.
