Boxers that had their opponents number...

Holyfield had Tyson's number to such an extent that Tyson had to resort to biting to get out of another beating.

 

This is a good example too. Holyfield definitely had Tyson's number. Teddy Atlas has talked about it. Holyfield has talked about it.

Great example.

 

Dubois had Gormans number

 

Tyson had Bruno's number

 

Orlando Cruz wants everybody's number.

 

Holyfield/Tyson
Tarver/Jones
Sorinvesia/Gonzales

 

Tony Thomson had David price's.

 

extremely close fight where salido came in much heavier and punched loma’s balls all night. You dumb.

 

Maskaev beat rahman twice and did it in style. he raped that loudmouth clown in front of all his stupid fans.

 

Pacquiao and Bradley.

 

Ivan Robinson had Gatti’s number, which is also a big reason why I’m against his inclusion in the HOF.

Montell Griffin has Toney’s number.

Jermaine Taylor and Chad Dawson had Hopkins’s number.

 

Chavez vs Taylor 1 and 2

 

JMM and Pacquiao is the obvious one that springs to mind.

However you scored the fight he just seemed to have a style that caused Pacquiao problems

 

Golota seemed to have Bowe's number but unfortunately had the mental fortitude of a gnat.

 

I think Tyson was just a better fighter, end of. When people talk about a guy having another fighter's number, I tend to see it in the context that they are not necessarily a better fighter overall, just have the style and the skillset to beat that particular guy.
