    Ruiz vs Joshua 1
    Ruiz is not the stereotypical pressure fighter because he only really throws when you have thrown, but he does pressure somewhat by always being on the front foot and coming forward

    I would describe Lyle more as a boxer puncher

    Arguello vs Pryor although Pryor was a little more than just a pressure fighter. He certainly played that role against Arguello in that fight though.

    So do you consider Foreman the pressure fighter out of the 2?

    I would. Despite having a good jab he was always coming forward.
