    Nobody's perfect, even the most skilled fighters could have too much of a noticeable rhythm\set-up. Any picks?

    Golota would always nut punch after throwing a good sequence of punches.

    Not too educated on him but didnt Joe Louis have this before the first schmelling fight?
    “I see something…” was the line as I remember it.

    Louis would drop his left hand a bit low after jabbing, and Schmeling used that small opening to get in on him.

    Didn't foreman always use to telegraph big time whenever he threw a power punch?

    Wlad Klitschko had a big 'tell' ... after a jab he'd go into a waltz sequence 90% of the time.

    Larry Holmes didn't move his head when he threw the jab. Cus d'Amato noticed that and he predicted Tyson would knock him out with the right hand.

    Terry Norris would follow up a knockdown by hitting the guy when he’s down.

    Hatton had a bad habit of getting into a rhythm with his head movement. Mayweather and Pacquiao both exploited it with the left.

    I think that knockout of Maussa made him fall in love with that leaping left hook, which hurt him badly in future fights.
