No one “ faints” in the presence of danger better than I do !! Oh wait….. the thread says “ feints”. Sorry !!!

A couple others that haven’t been mentioned are Roy Jones & Erik Morales.

It was great timing when George Foreman was commentating RJJ’s rematch with Montell Griffin. George says “Roy is playing the feinting game and Griffin is benefiting from that”. Right as he says it, Roy knocks out Montell with a left hook. Roy also set up the Virgil Hill body shot KO with feints.

 

Lol. From the outset Roy was throwing left hooks like there was no tomorrow - if he was going to KO Griffin it was always going to be with the left. That was the most devil may care version of Roy in his prime - I liked it.

 

Great quote and it ironically speaks volumes for Arch in terms of analysing the body language of his opponent - those feints might’ve lost on fighters with much less ring IQ than Moore- but then they wouldn’t have been required, which speaks for itself. Lol.
