List slick boxers dominating brawlers/pressure fighters?

[Mister Wolf]

Crawford vs Horn. Pay attention how he uses the check hook while taking a step back to neutralize Horn's charges. Something Pac was incapable of doing.

[Eddy Current]

Tyson Fury vs Wlad kind of

[Split Decision]

Fury vs Klitschko.

[Rusty Tromboni]

Loughran vs. Walker
Braddock vs. Baer
Graham vs. Gavilan
Pastrano vs. Johnson
Canto vs. Gonzalez
Rose vs. Harada
Locche vs. everyone
Benitez vs. Palomino
Spinks vs. Qawi
Holyfield vs. Bowe II actually saw Holyfield's Boxing win him the day.
Every Chris Byrd fight
HOpkins vs. Tito and Pavlik

Duran and Lomachenko are insane pressure fighters, but fighting them is like juggling clumps of quicksand. I've never seen a fighter make an opponent miss as much as they do.

Floyd's performance against Corrales came at 130 pounds, when people try to paint Floyd as Ray Robinson Jr. I think that was his best performance until he fought another limited, weight drained Messican: Canelo.

But really, if we are having this conversation, why beat around the bush? The real answer:

Anything Willie Pep.

End. Of. Thread.

Ali Foreman/Liston

Ali-Foreman wasn't a slick boxer dominating a pressure fighter. Sure, Ali played defense, while Foreman pushed offense. But Ali took a lot of heavy fire. He also won w/ the rope-a-dope. Hardly a display of pure Boxing. He wasn't Tyson Fury in there.

In fact, Norton used his jab to pretty effectively out-box Ali.

I just got done watching Whitaker vs Chavez and Raheem vs Morales, and my goodness did Chavez and Morales get flat out humiliated in those fights.

Can any of you list more fights with this kind of theme?

Barrera jones, Maidana Broner, Joe Smith vs Hopkins, Chavez vs Camacho, Jose Ramirez vs Amir Imam, just to name a few

[IronDanHamza]

Jirov Toney

That was far from dominant.

Are you trying to claim that Willie Pastrano dominated Harold Johnson?

[Rusty Tromboni]

Are you trying to claim that Willie Pastrano dominated Harold Johnson?

He out-boxed him. That's for sure. How you score that fight comes down to how you interpret the rules. I am the first to say that Johnson deserved an immediate rematch. And I fully acknowledge that in that era, applying pressure weighed more heavily than effective defense. But Pastrano looked like a snake-charmer, the way he was leading him around all night.
