Fighters who set traps.

[VG_Addict]

Who are/were some fighters who were great at setting traps for their opponents?

Hop is/was very effective at setting traps. He completely dismantled Tito with them. Floyd is very effective as evidenced in his fights vs Hatton and Judah. James Toney was very good at drawing guys into corners, slipping shots n spinning them n trapping them in there.

Ray Mercer..... the KING of traps. Watch his Morrison fight, as well as a few other non notables, and you would see he set traps. Even with the fight with Lewis- trap city.

Danny Garcia is a modern day trap-star.

Juan Manuel Marquez does it all the time.




Stiverne has the knack as well.

Good choice with JMM, I think he ripped the LW division because of his ability to set traps. Wasnt the fastest, strongest, no physical advantages, just a superior thinker.

Great call on Mercer-Morrison. It seems we always hear how Mercer brutalized and out boxed Mercer before the roof caved in on him. But Mercer was maneuvering him, jabbing his head off and just walking him into the dark alley for finish. Too much is made of his juggernaut chin and inconsistency...both true...but Mercer had a killer stubby jab and a thinker.

It's hard to see the trap, when Mercer..without mercy threw left after left, until Morrison seemingly collapsed into the ropes. That was brutal. Shame on the ref...but damn, I enjoyed it!!

Yeh ref was off having tea or something. But man, the whole fight was a trap I loved the little subtleties and shifts by Mercer. Morrison was the same combination over and over and started falling into clinches more and more. Mercer would push him off at shoulder, squaring him and making him reset and the beginning of the end began end of 3rd. Ray got his toes under him in 4th and at 1:27 mark he showed a lead right hand..pulled the punch and snuck Morrison with a short left jab that hurt him badly and had him clinging on and that was all she wrote. Mercer started backing to ropes looking for that same spin off and counter he had in 3rd and had a look of a guy who knew it was a matter of time. Miss those days when young undefeated heavyweights tested themselves vs each other. Imagine that
