    Are there any fighters who were good at setting traps?

    Chris Eubank and James Toney both tricked opponents in to running in to their counter right hands.

    "Here you see a counter right hand" Roy Jones jr.

    In all seriousness, Roy Jones was one of the best in recent years. Great at changing up tempo and speed in ways that would rock his opponents to sleep and make them susceptible to particular punches. Mayweather too.

    Jones was one of the first to come to mind. Kostya also good on setting up his right hand. Finito Lopez was good at setting up his total ****nal.

    I recently watched the Jones - Toney fight, what a clinic Jones put on.

    benitez. simply by retreating to the ropes. Those dopes would rush right in throwing everything they had, while Benitez dodged masterfully, then countered.

    Qawi was adept at it, especially in the 1st Holyfield fight.

    Money is pretty damn good at inviting lead rights so he can spin and counter.

    Danny Lopez.

    No wait hear me out. William Detloff had the perfect description, that Lopez got you into range by pitifully easy to hit. But it was a trap!
