    - RJJ leading with the left hook constantly. Technically incorrect but highly efficient for his speed and reflexes.

    - Ali throwing lead right hands over and over again without being countered.

    - Hagler switching stances mid punch to cut off exits for his opponents. You are not recommended to switch stances and somehow he pulled it off flawlessly.

    Hopkins would step in alot with his rt hand. It wasn't a full shift as he'd leave just enough space for a short left hook then the smother so his opponent didn't have any room to counter. Very smart move.

    Fury's lead uppercut is quite effective.

    I noticed a lot of old school fighters do that specifically Ezzard Charles and Archie Moore

    Can't remember what fight, but Holyfield throws a headbutt-nutshot combo. Absolutely blatant.
