    To discourage from coming in.

    Who are they?

    Most elite swarmers, from what I've seen. Frazier, Marciano, Chuvalo.

    Speaking of Bennie, Hagler springs to mind.

    When he wanted to hunt you down, anyway.

    Vasquez looked pretty determined the other night and his face shows it.

    The ultimate answer would be Rocky Marciano.

    I disagree with this.

    Frazier has proven capable of taking by far the greater punishment and continue to comit to the attack.

    What about your man Harada, how does he stack up here? Bit to smart for this thread?

    Yeah, Marciano never had to pick himself off the canvas half a dozen times after being hit by a Foreman level puncher.

    Jose Luis Ramirez. I have only seen a couple of his fights. He seemed pretty relentless and always kept trying to move in on his opponents.

    Masahiko could shift his approach and box smart of he felt he needed to.

    I felt he applied his pressure in a much more intelligent manner in the second Medel fight, limiting potential scares. But yeah, in thefirst fight he kept dragging himself back up to enter the fray and promptly get wasted again.

    Not a bad call.

    Only Fenech's hands made him box smart.

    Hagler when he got pissed off.
    Tex Cobb, even Shavers's power couldn't keep him away.
    Ray Mercer once his mind was made up.
    George Chuvalo.
    Carmen Basilio.

    Yuh. Perhaps Villa. Did anyone discourage Chang? Flea would know. Galaxy (more about competition than anything else).

    If putting your head down and attempting to headbutt people in the abdomen Moon.

    Although the footage isn't there Greb, potentially.
