    I can think of Tim Witherspoon, David Tua, Gennady Golovkin, Julian Jackson.

    Who else?
    Off my memory James Toney retreated and clinched vs Tony Thornton.

    Joe Frazier was far from lazy and didn't like to rest and clinch.

    Marciano didn't clinch too often.

    referee Ruby Goldstein said he didn't have to seperate the fighters once in 15 rounds in Marciano VS Charles I, think it was similar thing in Jeffries v Sharkey II 25 rounder

    60s & early 70s Joe that's true. He was clinching more frequently towards the end....
