Attacking an opponent's strengths not his weaknesses

Which fighter (A) would go against fighter (B) but in a pattern of bosslike manners? Meaning he has the obsession the compulsiveness and the arrogant audacity to beat him at his own game? All the while (A) coulda fought his fight and beat (B) with his tailor made bonafide easy mode aka using his advantages and tools against the opponent who was handicapped in that department. So instead of coasting to an easy win (styles make fights) which boxer went in there and dominated at a more difficult task, beating "B" at his own game? In this case who is (A) ? And what fight did he do this glorified thing in?

Further more, who is a fighter who could fight both an easy way YET take it to his opponent in a more hard working fashion? So instead of cutting corners he put in the more workmanlike performance?

 

I would say in my recollection it's gotta be jt vs Evander. Jt showed up with his little hands and middleweight punch. Evander was still commander vander, not completely a shell of his former self yet... James said he would meet him in the middle of the ring... Which he did on war in November 4. Vander was dumbfounded to find answers, he used his head as a third weapon, not effective in landing his fists on the elusive James toney. Imagine if toney played it defensively and fought off the ropes, that would be a way to possibly beat Evander with on paper, but James has the confidence to fight in the center of the ring like a true heavyweight.

Lemme make this clear, Evander is a brawler so the more you slug with him, you give him chances. Look how easily Larry Donald defeated him with timing, distance and a jab, it was ridiculous. However I don't think James's style of fighting on the outside was ever his thing, but fighting on the inside was playing into Holyfield s strengths.
