    The vast majority of top talent from the US are out-boxers or counter-punchers. Shakur, Crawford, Tank, Keyshawn, Hitchins, Boots, and Fulton are the best US fighters currently imo and none of them are really pressure fighters. The only guys I can think of are Figueroa, GAR, and Benavidez but that's it, and two of market themselves as Mexicans anyway.

    There aren't a lot of pressure fighters in general. It's a tough way to make a living. Pressure fighters take the most punishment out of anybody and they also tend to have short careers. But it's also a nightmare to deal with if executed properly. They grind you down until you have nothing left and quit.
