    "I won every one of my fights with patience." - Mayweather.

    Who were some great patient fighters in the past?
    I would say Jack Johnson is definitely up there.
    Bernard Hopkins
    Joe Louis
    I feel like a lot of Stewarts fighters were good at this. Hearns, Wlad, Lewis.
    What do you guys think?

    Carlos Monzon. He was very patient. And cold as an iceberg.

    One of the first that came to mind. Also Finito Lopez, Rigondeaux, and sometimes Alexis Arguello.

    Rigondeaux is one of the best.
    Id put Ezzard Charles up there too.
