    Usyk right now. He almost always gives the first two away.

    Matthew Saad Muhammad was famous for not just giving rounds away over the first half of a fight but almost seemingly giving the fight away before he made his customary charge and pulled out an improbable victory, most notably in his first fights with Marvin Johnson and John Conteh and his second fight with Yaqui Lopez.

    Winky Wright is definitely an offender when it comes to giving up rounds intentionally. Even in the second Mosley fight he almost let that fight slip away.

    Jose Luis Lopez is a great mention. All that talent but a frustrating fighter to watch.

    And Duran.

    And Vito the first time, when he seemed to slow down into second gear a few times just when it seemed he had the upper hand to let Antuofermo keep clawing his way back into it.
