Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus - Wikipedia
His agnomen, Cunctator, usually translated as "the delayer", refers to his strategy of withdrawal thereby wearing out the enemy without engaging in any direct battle.
The gung-ho macho military types hated him, and when they finally removed his command, they attacked and of course got their asses kicked.
So the "rope-a-dope" was actually created 2oo years BC?
