    FMJ comes to mind. The only time I ever saw him lose the second half of a fight was against Castillo
    Bernard Hopkins to usually won the second half of fights

    No they don't, he made adjustments in the 1st & 3rd Norton fights after falling behind early, & in the final rounds of the Thrilla.

    He won pretty easy in “Super fight 2” I thought. He just clinched Joe Frazier to death.

    That's a gameplan not an adjustment

    Usyk is the answer you want. He seems to download the opponent's fighting style and timing and if he ever has a bad round you just know he's going to come out breathing fire the next round and flip the script. He seems to always have an extra gear or some flaw in the opponent's style that he keeps under wraps until he needs it.
