Who Was The Best 'Swarmer'/Pressure Fighter In History?

[KLockard23]

Not just someone with murderous KO power like a Mike Tyson, but a person who had a surgical-like precision and extremely high hit accuracy even when throwing a whole bunch of wild punches.

Henry Armstrong.

Don't mention Tyson...he just looked like a beast against the trash he was fighting.

Tyson was a bully that folded whenever somebody stood up to him.
There was no folding in Henry Armstrong.

Please get off that Tyson shi.t.

This, I like dempsy, marciano and Frazier but Armstrong took it to another level and his competition was top notch as well. Tyson is not a swarming fighter either, idk why people say this all the time. If he's considered a swarming fighter then I guess patterson is too huh..

I would say Roberto Duran, his footwork and ability of cutting the ring was on point, his punch selection was awesome, great timing, counterpunching ability, chin, defense, head movement, killer body punching, unblocking skills, power, toughness, ruthless and proved against top fighters.

[Weltschmerz]

Add Frazier and La Motta.. btw Marciano and Frazier were better inside fighters than Tyson.

Not quite. OP is wrong but you are as well. Tyson was NOT a swarmer, but he wasn't a talentless bully as you're painting him to be either. Just because he had power doesn't mean he didn't use technique. Tyson's main problem was being short for his division. His other problem is that his technique went away in the last half of his career. Prime Tyson was highly disciplined. His career has sadly been encapsulated into a ko reel, but there's much more to it than that.

Regarding the topic, I don't know who the best was but Frazier was the most well known. He's the poster boy for that style.
