I love the setup that Donaire does: lowers his left hand, baits his opponent to throw the right and rolls with the right hand just enough to crank the LH over. Another one was when SRR landed 2 right bodyshots against Fullmer and then switched to the LH as Fullmer came in. The way he feinted like he was going to throw the bodyshot again and came up with the LH was pure brilliance. RJJ is not looked upon as a brilliant technician but the way he KO'd Tate was amazing. He drifted backwards with his hand on the ropes and then stopped, sprang forward and drilled Tate with a LH. Just brilliant how he set him up. What other traps and setups have you seen?
Floyd disguising his leaping left hook that floored Marquez by feinting an uppercut all in one motion
Pacquiao fooling Marquez as though he were going to throw a double jab but threw an overhand left to put him on ***** street through out the 10th.

Toney, at SMW and higher, became better and better at luring his opponents close to the ropes, sometimes by playing possum, where he was comfortable and could lean back on the ropes and counter them. The Iran Barkley fight is a perfect example of that. At MW, Toney was the opposite - he was more of a seek n'destroy pressure fighter, coming forward, but with excellent defence already
Duran feinting a right hand body shot against Leonard and then throwing a left hook. RJJ clowning and jumping in before landing the left hook that floored Toney; feinting by ducking down towards Griffin before knocking him out with that left hookercut in the rematch. Marquez backpedaling from Pacquiao with left hand parrys as if he had him on a string before landing the 3-punch combo mid-air. Cotto feinting a jab and landing a right against Foreman as he was moving to his right. Khan throwing a jab at Malignaggi, anticipating his answering jab with a pull away, then coming back with a right hand immediately.
When mosley rocked mayweather he feinted with a jab to the body then brought the big right hand over the top, i thought that was a pretty good set up.
Floyd talking three steps back then leaping in with a lightning fast lead left hook, caught hatton with it all night, it works a treat because he disguises it as a jab and opponents bring their hand to their face to parry it.
My old man doesnt understand that one, he thinks that anyone who keeps their left low like Floyd, RJJ, Vitali ect are "showing off", I try to tell him its just to bait the opponent and setup a counteratsch
I like Hearn's KO of Duran, although Duran was extremely hurt already and backed against the ropes he does that weak double jab feint to the body and Duran is tired/hurt enough to fall for it and drops his hands giving Hearns the perfect shot for that final right hand.
My favourite as an am was feinting a jab upstairs, changing levels for a jab to the body then changing levels again for a straight to the face.
Look how many times Hopkins lead Joe Calzaghe down the alley, then nailed him with right hand as he came chasing in.
I quite like the way Khan decked Salita -- jab-fake-into-hook to draw the guard open, quickly followed by a lightning straight-right down the pipe. All within a single instant. Maidana is underrated when it comes to his timing and craftiness. He was setting Khan up multiple times with the overhand right (he waited for Khan to throw his jab or left-hook while moving to the left, which opened him up for a looping right-hand counter). Khan just kept walking into the same trap again and again. Roy Jones even picked up on it before the devastating tenth round.
