Another example would be Rocky Marciano. He said that he would willing walk though punches during the first 3 rounds just to land the type of punch that would really hurt an opponent. He said that type of punch would effect an opponent psychologically the rest of the fight would cause the opponent to hesitate before doing anything because of concern of getting hit with another punch like that.
Jack Dempsey was known to fade in the rounds 5-7 if he didn't blow his opponent out in rounds 1-4. But then, he'd close like a category 5 hurricane making landfall in the later rounds.
