Also carl frochs pretty gud at adapting in fights, over this super six hes had loads of different styles infront of him and always done well, even when losing a close decsion on away turf to kessler, who'd u lot remember for been gud at changin game plans after the first bell and why?
Sugar Ray Leonard is on the short list, even if only based on the Hearns fight. That fight was built up as a classic boxer (Leonard) vs. slugger (Hearns) confrontation, but Leonard was getting outboxed, thanks to Hearns's amazing reach. So Leonard changed horses mid-stream and became the slugger, and scored the TKO. He didn't do it mid-fight, but his adjustment between Duran I and Duran II was also noteworthy.
