      Henry Armstrong. Absolutely relentless, skillful, tough and athletic.

      For Joe Frazier to be able to pull of the style at 205lbs is also astonishing.

          I'd say Arron Pryor and Henry Armstrong maybe Roberto Duran up to the brawl in Montreal after that he lost some of his prime

            Maybe not too wild but precision and pressure wise, Tito Trinidad!

              How many pressure fighters will ever be able to win titles from 126-147 and be able to hang with middleweights


              Most pressure fighters don't do well moving up in weight or fighting certain styles

              he went on a tear with over 50 wins and close to that amount of knockouts fighting very good opposition


              Add into the fact he had fast legs, great head movement, a great chin, and could roll punches very well, didn't smother his work, could throw every punch in the book.....he is the prototype of a pressure fighter

                ^^^^great mention....Frazier fights a lot like Armstrong, except Armstrong used that sneaky over hand right and uppercuts more often inside whereas Frazier was hell with hooks

                both had underrated defense. Frazier made Ali miss more than any fighter he ever shared a ring with, even taunted Ali in fight 1.

                    Armstrong, Greb?... Well...
                    SRR beat Armstrong... Greb's ultimate weakness may have been his lack of knockout power...
                    Frazier, OK...
                    ...but I still go with a healthy Mike Tyson.
