    Leonard.

    Antonio Tarver had a go at it in the first Roy Jones fight but it has been a while since I saw it so I'm vague on the details.

    Meant to put leonard. he never just did it against hagler. he did it in the first duran fight and against hearns. Thats why the scorecards were a lot closer

    leonard is the first one is thought of as well

    b-hop does it pretty well but in a different way. he negates the opponent incredibly well, ensuring that he lands the only effective shots in the round which he times very carefully

    ali did this against norton with great results in the second fight

    Mayweather stole a lot of round against De la hoya.

    In saying that he stole them are we giving full credit for actually winning the rounds legitimately? Or are we allowing leeway for actual debate as to whether he did in fact win said rounds? I just need to know so we can get that out of the way.

    Give Jorodz a cigar! The "Keed" perfected the shoeshine to high art.

    Ali is the all time great at this. Perfect at making a round look like his.
