Bernard Hopkins used the Jersey Joe Walcott trick of walking away at an angle and then throwing the lead right as the opponent follows. Barney Ross was adept at keeping opponents off balance and missing by pushing/tapping them on the shoulders/hips before and in between punches. Georgie Benton used to teach guys how to step on the opponents instep to slow them down/off. James Toney's shoulder to shoulder and all around infighting.
