    There's multi ways to break down opponents, what you after technicians or pressure fighters/stalkers?

    Nice question...

    I prefer Marquez's style of breaking someone down, joy to watch, more method in it, compared to the likes of a Rios

    Pressure fighting prime McGuigan tops for me
    I recently watched Johanson dismantle Burns, great pressure figher .

    John Simpson, the guy is a pure workhorse and as already been said Joe Calzaghe and Hatton in his younger days.

    I would have thought that breaking an opponent down (either mentally or physically) is all part of being a top level fighter.

    How about naming British boxers who managed to be successeful without breaking opponents down?
