    example: Kostya Tyszu. early in his career he had trouble against a pressure fighter named Hector Lopez. although he won pretty wide on the scorecards, he stylistically had more trouble than he should have against Lopez, suggesting he had trouble against good pressure fighters in general. this was exposed again later in his career against Hatton and Vince Phillips.
    I could see the Judah fight being the exception if it wasnt for Floyd predicting exactly what happened. And if its one thing that holds true in boxing its that good pressure fighters are trouble for every fighter in history . So it cant be painted on a single fighter.
