    Bruno was terrified in the rematch against Tyson, was almost hard to watch.

    Also
    Nicolai Firtha against Deontay Wilder
    Matthew Macklin against Gennady Golovkin

    Bhop v Dawson is a better example. BHop had to fake an injury against Dawson. BHop wasn't even worried about Kovalev's power.

    Most of Kovalev's and Golovkin's opponents. They fear their power and they become defensive right away.
