Most skilled brawlers/pressure fighters..

SplitSecond14y ago

name away..

Comments (20)

Well, some people think boxer-punchers are considered pressure fighters. But I'd go with Duran, Chavez Sr, and Tyson. There's been good boxer-punchers recently that some people might consider "pressure" fighters, like Tito Trinidad. What about Calzaghe, does he count? Not an all time great, but recently, he was pretty good, don't know if he qualifies though..

14y ago

Miguel Cotto gets a shout from me Tyson Duran Barrera and Chavez are some past guys who were REALLY skilled pressure fighters

14y ago

marvin hagler and carlos monzon are my favorites. yeah,but monzon will hit anything,even his wife...

14y ago

Tyson is the most skilled pressure fighter. he had the best defence of any offensive fighter ever. Duran is close though

14y ago

SWEETSCIENCE100

"IRON MIKE TYSON" the greatest brawling /pressure fighter in the history of fighting, period!!!!! No one even compares or comes close to a young IRON MIKE TYSON in brawling/pressure fighting!! If you hear anything differrent, tell them to stfu and stop lying!

14y ago

Rocky Marciano ( when he had to) Roberto Duran

Pacan is probably the most skilled brawler to lace up a pair ever.

Hagler and especially Monzon are not brawlers. I meant them as pressure fighters with skill. Not brawlers. I don't like brawlers. Neither of those guys are brawlers but they knew how to apply pressure.

Duran and Tyson for me...
