    Julio Cesar Chavez and especially Roberto Duran were excellent at coming forward, applying pressure, and slipping the incoming leather.

    Willie Pep and Pernell were the best. Locche, Mayweather, and Benitez are up their too.

    I was wondering when someone was going to mention Duran, if anyone saw he fight against Barkley they truly saw a master at work. Ali was also a master as are many who have been mentioned.
