    This maybe a bit off topic but 1940's heavyweight contender practiced Yoga as part of his training.

    Hurricane Jackson used to throw the double jab

    Floyd Patterson's Kangaroo hook

    Usyk's weird habit of often giving away the first two rounds (not as much at heavy, but Chisora)

    Was is Chris Eubank that used to do a lot of posing?

    Freddie Brown used to position himself behind Duran in the corner right before the bell to resume and lift him up to his feet by the waist, kind of give him a boost — figured that little bit of energy that it takes to stand up in what might be a grueling 15-round fight could make a difference with his legs late.

    Probably for similar reasons — the effort of sitting down and getting back up every round for such a big man — George Foreman often (was it always even, can’t recall?) would stand up between rounds in his second career.
