How Do You Become A Shot Fighter and how does it make a difference in other fights?

I think Erik Morales wars with Antonio Barrera may have made him a shot fighter. Morales was the more brawler of the two, while Barrera stopped in occasions to use his technic. I Believe Rafael Marquez and Israel Vaszquez battles have made them shot fighters. I believe Arturo Gatti fighting Micky Ward sealed it for Gatti. While Fernando Vargas all started with just Trinidad and then De La Hoya. Same goes for Ricardo Mayorga. I got to believe that a streak of tough hard hitting fighters is a risk for any boxer. And for the ones that aren't I don't think they've had a streak of challenging opponents. There's a lot to be talked about this subject like which fighters have fought the biggest streak of hard hitting fighters. Especially the ones that havn't been previously knockout. If You check the records you might find that the ones that have avoided the longer streak of dangerous fighters have manage to avoid getting knocked out.
