          just like Breadman explained, there is a difference between pressure fighters and stalkers. Antonio Margarito is a stalker, Golovkin applies pressure. a stalker follows you around, a pressure guy cuts off all your exit routes.

          Chavez Sr, Golovkin, prime Tyson and Frazier are all greats at cutting ring.

          Marvin Hagler never cut the ring on SRL, that's why he got his eyebrows boxed off. Maidana cut off the ring on Floyd and dictated the tempo in their first fight (which I believe he won). and Golovkin is the best I've seen in my lifetime doing this.

              A younger Shane Mosley could close the distance in an instant. His athleticism was freakish.

              Ricky Hatton also had quick feet that helped close the distance quickly as well as change direction. We give him a lot of s hit but he could stay on your ass.

              Cotto can also do it with some success when he has to lead.

              A younger Pacquiao was also able to run most people down when he decided to go forward..from one side of the ring to the next. Explosive legs

                BHOP pretty good too

                  Jake LaMotta, Henry Armstrong, Jack Dempsey, Rocky Marciano
                  Mike Tyson, Aaron Prior, Roman Gonzales, Greg Hagen, Ray Mancini, Mickey Walker, Stanley Ketchel, Rocky Graziano, Joe Frazier............many more

                  You don't see that many all out pressure fighters today because most of the men are from amateur back grounds. To be successful in the amateurs your better off being a stand up boxer who works laterally and throws straight punches.
