    Vitali fights mostly at range. Because fighters have to come to him because of his long ass reach. Great heavyweight though.

    Why do we keep on discussing a non-relevant fighter?

    Pressure fighting does not necessarily equal inside fighting.

    When did Mayweather become a pressure fighter????


    Pressure fighters are Hatton or Margarito-type. They will keep on coming at you or walk you down regardless whether they are successful or not. Like pressure, or vise. Soemone who don't even give you a breather.

    And still *****s have to nerve to claim they are the ones who know boxing or own everyone.

    Counterpunchers are never pressure fighters. Is this a case of "FLOORED" again?

    A versatile fighter can fight in multiple styles. I know you dont know much about boxing but this is common knowledge. For instance Marvin Hagler early in his career was a terrific boxer puncher who could also brawl with the best. Same with a fighter like Duran or Oscar De La Hoya. Oscar could box off the back foot, fight at range or crush you, depending on what type of fighter he was facing in the ring that day.


    Seriously this isnt a discussion for *******s. People with athletic ability and knowledge of boxing should only be here. You guys got your own threads to consort on.

    It's called being versatile. Something that the hero of the philipines struggles with.

    You idiot he's saying that PBF can be an effective pressure fighter when he chooses to be.

    Its baffling that a country with a decent boxing legacy produces so many clowns who know nothing about the sport.

    That's because 95% of these so called boxing fans only started watching boxing when Pac fought Oscar and will be done with the sport when Pac retires.

    Out of the 41 fights and he showed flashes of pressure fighting against one or two hopeless opponents and he suddenly become the "King" of pressure fighting?

    Really, why don't the three of you just go to a room and suck each other's ....

    Pressure is what Castillo did to him in the first fight. You are entirely missing the point. You are redefining a definition in boxing again like FLOORED.

    He is suggesting that Floyd employs the most intelligent pressure in the fight game today. That's a viable discussion point.

    Stop it you're making too much sense the very thought of a guy coming forward with good defense a jab and picking his shots is foreign to him.

    2 hopeless opponents? Granted Mitchell was largely done as a championship contenders, but Zab and Mosley were at the top of the sport. ANd nobody but maybe Winky wright treated Mosley like that, and thats because Winky Wright was huge. Mayweather was the smaller guy. I really dont see your criticism here.


    Watch most of Floyds fights at 130. He was indeed a fabulous pressure fighter then, just not as flat footed as he is now so it wasnt as noticable when he was zipping in and out tagging the other guy.


    Like I said you just dont know boxing. Castillo was a helluva pressure fighter. One of the best and learned his stuff from JC superstar. But we are talking about pressure fighters today.


    Seriously you need to get over your bias. You sound like a women every time you cry on a Mayweather thread.

    Ya, I guess "pressure" only refers to guys who comes in balls to the walls, taking shots on the way. Pressure = Taking four shots to land one.
