    Hatton is a pressure fighter but lacks the skill that Jaun Diaz and Cotto display. Hatton is more of a brawler who lacks defence. Paquiao gives some serious pressure and is well conditioned enough to keep applying it.

    Pavlik, yeah he can bring it the pressure. Even though he won the rematch against Taylor, he did look a little flat footed at times with little head movement.

    Even though im not too particular of Joe Calzage, he has applied some serious pressure along with dirty tactics in taking out Kessler, Manfredo, and Lacey.

    Has anyone one seen Alfredo Angulos? i've been impressed with the pressure he has been bringing to his bout, but lets see if he can do this with some of the top fighters.

    You still gotta give Hatton love. He lost to the P4P king, a fate anyone else would probably face outside of maybe Cotto.

    Pavlik also.

    Diaz is overrated IMO.

    Marg tries but he's started to deteriorate.

    Katsidis is relentless but he needs to work on his defense a bit.

    I dont think Cotto is a pressure fighter and if he is then Mosley applied more pressure on Cotto than the other way around in their fight.

    Pavlik makes you fight hard all night.

    Kelly Pavlik

    I like the way he pressures behind an active jab, constantly throwing punches, and taking small steps forward. He should work the body more, mixing up his right hand upstairs with rights to the body. His defense needs work, too.
