    I couldn't find a thread on this.

    So who was it? I don't mean the biggest puncher or the most skilled. I mean which fighter fought with the most ferocious intensity for every second of every round and did not let up until the final bell rang or the final punches were delivered. I have a few names in mind but I was interested in what you guys could come up with (especially the old school fighters that I'm a bit ignorant about)

    Might add a poll if this thread gets enough interest :good

    Those are picks just off the top of my head.

    Fraizer
    Duran
    Hagler
    Marciano
    Pryor
    Early Benn
    ...and Holyfield could be pretty relentless too.

    I suppose Hatton too at his best.

    Henry Armstrong.
    Roberto Duran.

    Relentless for me has always had connotations of pressure fighting or swarming.
