    Which boxer is the best at controling the pace and tempo of a fight.
    If this boxer wants it to be slowed paced boxing match it will be a slow paced boxing match even if his opoent is a sluger of a high vaulm puncher. Or if he wants it to be a faster paced fight with a lot of toe to toe action and his opoent is more of a tactal boxer the fight will be a toe to toe fight.
    Who is the best at geting counter punchers to lead and lead punchers to counter?

    Hate to say it, but maybe Ruiz. He took fighters out or their game and forced everyone to fight his.

    After watching floyd in the flesh against hatton, it has to be floyd. Floyd unlike most fighters get strong towards the end. JC also especially when he schooled lacy. Sitting there at the MEN arena watching JC do that was amazing.

    Undoubtedly this is Bernard Hopkins. Any other answer is an imposter. He has mastered this fine art over the course of his career.

    bernard for sure. its like he has a way of scaring people without throwing punches. staring them down or something. for some reason ppl respect hopkins in the ring.
