    Not relevant to size, but guys like Mayweather, Whitaker, Pep who use angles, footwork and don’t allow you cut off the ring effectively. Pressure fighters usually struggle with movers.

          Honestly, those that could push the pressure fighter back and have good footwork.

          A guy like Mosley did well with pressure fighters as often times he had the quicker hands and would be able to get his combinations off.

          A guy like GGG is not going to be easy work for anyone. But we saw that when Derevyanchenko got active and used angles on him, he looked very vulnerable.

          Pressure fighters with good fundamentals are really hard to deal with for a reason.

            Huh? I had Floyd winning JLC 1 but it was extremely close.

            Most say the same about Maidana 1 lol

                Hence why there is no "kryptonite" for a "pressure" style.

                Some struggle with movment and counter punching, some excel with it.

                Take Cotto as one of your examples, he wasn't a pressure fighter per se but he was certainly aggressive, he tended to excel with boxers/movers with his jab and cutting the ring off.

                Where he struggled was when he was forced backwards and put under pressure.

                So to answer your question it depends on the fighter, and their skill set and ability. There's no set style that "pressure fighters" struggle with.

                    Big punchers. That's why Golovkin was so successful for so long, only Canelo had the power to even phase him.
