Shane Mosely never liked to get punched back... good counter-puncher, but when you hit him with combos, he backs off...
Tyson gave up on himself in the ring... more than once... Douglas, Holyfield he just gave up...
Chavez was a slow puncher... you can see his punches a mile off... he couldn't beat anyone with great head movement and reflexes, ala Sweet Pea Whitaker.
Cotto has little to NO head movement... that's why Pac beat him to a crisp...
Manny gets hit way too often... because he is always coming forward, throwing punches. Very rarely back fought and boxed on the back foot.
Sugar Ray, for as fast as he was, was always second in the exchanges. Watch closely his fight with Duran, both with Hearns and with Hagler, even though he won most of them, he was ALWAYS second in the exchanges. What he made up for it was with fast combinations, because he had natural talent.
Roy... kept his hands down way too often... tis why he got knocked out by Johnson and Tarver like he did.
