    What examples spring to mind?

    Foreman was the master of this. In the steroid inflated 90's he manhandled everyone from Shaannon Briggs to Tommy Morrison.

    Kirkland Laing casually pushed Duran around and almost over at one point. Kind of suprising.

    Yes, Foreman always did this, although he didn't have as much success against Holyfield from what I remember. He handled Qawi quite easily though. About the biggest stylistic mismatch you could come up with, that fight.

    Suprising how well Qawi managed to do.

    Ugly, ugly fight... But still.

    bernard hopkins manhandled antwon echols who imo was pretty large.

    holyfeild also did a good job holding his own against tyson.

    Foreman did manhandle Holyfield and pushed him all around, he was just getting hit with combos as he was pushing.

    Evander Holyfield manhandled Mike Tyson in the clinches.

    Not a terrible pick but a lot of fighters dominated Tyson in the clinches. As soon as he was clinched he went limp and didn't do anything.

    Ali against Foreman, Ali pretty much moved him where he wanted to.
