Strategies that backfired big time!

[THE THIRD MAN]

What strategies that have boxers taken away from their normal style that failed miserably and back fired?

i'd say the most famous is DLH's infamous last 3 rnds against Trinidad

Agreed, never underestimate the stupidity boxing judges.

Peter McNeely's "cocoon of horrors" against Tyson.

David Haye moving up to HW

I can't tell if you're making what could well end up being a legitimate prediction (in a thread not for predictions) or just being a little dumb.

He hasn't done anything yet at the weight, but since moving up to heavyweight he has had 3 of the 4 belt holders offer him fights.

Say what you want about being scared etc but having those 3 offers on the table can hardly be called back firing?...

It's not a good policy to get title shots only to back out of them.....he's never going to win a title if he never actually fights for one which although he has been offered 3-4 title fights he has yet to fight a single one

Not disputing that... it's just unrelated to the thread.

More spam from an infatuated hater who can't keep their mouth shut about Haye.

Roy Jones Jr not jumping all over JC after the first round KD. He allowed Calzaghe to settle and get confident again.

Surprised nobody has mentioned Hatton using his head as a shield against Pacquaio!

Herol Graham, although used brilliant tactics against Julian Jackson, should never have under estimated Jacksons one punch KO power.

...ironic that a Haye fan would get tired of people trash talking
