    Dempsey
    Duran
    Chavez
    Frazier
    Basilio

    Walker
    Ambers

    Greb would be up there but there is no footage. The hws are more known and popular but not better IMO. Still Marciano, Frazier, Dempsey, Tyson, Jeffries are probably the best there.

    A very upset Les Darcy.

    *Dempsey can not be called a pressure fighter. A front foot fighter perhaps..

    though i've only seen the Jofre fights, i think Harada is an awesome pressure fighter, great call! If he's not in your face mauling you, he's throwing quintuplet jabs.

    Dempsey and Duran will be named regardless, my friend. Whether it be greatest counter puncher, pressure fighter, pure boxer, swarmer, brawler, unorthodox, southpaw, fastest, most powerful, most technical, strongest chin, best jab, combination puncher, pot shotter, etc..its an Eastside Jersey thing

    my picks

    Harada
    Pacquiao
    Frazier
    Marciano
