What fighter was best at handling come forward pressure fighters

Monzon was great at leaning out of the range of punches and fighting off the back foot...but no one knew that until Briscoe ll.
George Foreman was of course a specialist in handling come forward pressure fighters.

 

Floyd Mayweather

 

Pea!!!!
The Bull would think that. Sweet Pea was retreating but in reality he was using a tight circle. Creating angles . Sweet Pea had the game to frustrate a pressure fighter and when he was hit he took a good shot. Also Whitaker was strongner than perceived. Can't think of anyone better.

 

He's up there but remember Floyd struggled badly with Castillo and Maidana so he's not the best example. I'd pick Duran over Floyd because he could outslick and beat the **** out of anybody who came at him. Duran would have slaughtered Castillo and Maidana. There's not many better examples than prime Duran for someone who thrived against come forward pressure.

I know Hearns beat down of Duran will get mentioned now lol

 

Prime Foreman. Not the 1990s Foreman.

 

Gene Tunney was good here

 

Foreman.

 

Yes,because every pressure fighter that 90s foreman fought did beat him Super idiot

 

Duran could pick an opponent apart in a brawl like no other. Also George Foreman, it was suicide to walk in to his punches.

 

Tiger is maybe the most unbeatable I've seen in a straight up fight. Immense physical strength, top-level infighting ability, defensively adept, fast accurate heavy hands, top counterpunching ability, high workrate/stamina and a granite mandible. Just chewed up and spat out some excellent pressure fighters.

 

I think more of Benitez beating Duran rather easily.

 

Benitez or Hearns didn't beat the best of Duran though did they ?

 

Another lame attempt at a dig. Wilfred wasn't a pressure fighter, so he doesn't even need to be mentioned

 

To me, the name that came to mind was Pea
