Most relentless fighters of all time

10 greatest fighters I consider to be out and out pressure fighters:

Harry Greb
Henry Armstrong
Mickey Walker
Manny Pacquiao
Terry McGovern
Sandy Saddler
JCC
Fighting Harada
Carmen Basillo
Joe Frazier

Duran had a more nuanced skillset, but if you consider him an out and out pressure fighter, he makes the list.

HMs Dwight Qawi, Pete Herman and Fritzie Zivic

Edit - I completely forgot Marciano, who would make my top 10.

 

I don’t really have 10 but…Sung Kil Moon is stupid aggressive, like a literal berserker and impossible to detour. I can’t recommend you watch his 2nd bout with Nana Konandu enough Bob and another addition would be Myung-Yuh-Woo, now these guys aren’t “greats” but they would rate very highly on a list about sheer pitbull tendencies in the way Bob Satterfield would. I hope you check these guys out amigo.

I haven't a lot of Armstrong but his pressure fighting caught my eye it was like watching a clinch on;

Must have been a nightmare to have had to prepare to fight him.

 

1. Fighting Harada
2. Henry Armstrong
3. Carmen Basilio
4. Gene Fullmer
5. Gennadiy Golovkin
6. Orlando Salido
7. Jake LaMotta
8. Joe Frazier
9. Antonio Margarito
10. Roman Gonzalez

Off the dome, so not very set on this order, but I feel like this is a pretty decent list of names.

 

Hi Greg.
Excellent choices, with your permission I will add :
Bad Bennie
Barry McGuigan
Dave Green
Ad Wolgast
lest we forget the dearly departed one and only - Ricky Hatton.
stay safe Greg, chat soon.
Mike.

 

Gene Fullmer ?

 

Add to the discussion:

Julio Cesar Chavez (prime)
Rocky Marciano (c'mon guys. did I have to mention this one?)
John L Sullivan (no Fancy Dan, he)
Stanley Ketchell
Azumah Nelson

 

Jeff Fenech
Jack Dempsey
Jorge Castro

 

Aaron Pryor.
At times so relentless, he was reckless.
But in his prime, I haven't seen a Jr.
welter I'd bet my mortgage to beat him.
Pryor was a wreaking machine.........
Who could fall back on sublime skills when he needed to.

 

No Wilfredo Gomez yet????

 

Other fighters not yet mentioned:

Jung Koo Chang
Santos Laciar
Chartchai Chionoi
Bennie Briscoe
Nigel Benn

 

The first fight between Moon and Konadu has a disappointing end but is one of the greatest little guy fights ever imo.

 

I think it’s one of the greatest fights period. I was watching Yuh vs Joey Olverio today, I know you and @roughdiamond are fans of the wee weights what do you guys think of Joey? He had a really nice jab.
