    I came on to this thread ready to explode at someone describing Hagler as a pressure fighter.

    Pleasantly surprised.

    All styles are available to any stance.

    You have an outboxer, slugger, pressure fighter, counter-puncher in both stances.

    It's just that the best guys are too skilled and chooses to be a boxer-puncher instead.

    I made sure to note it wasn't his natural style

    post 2009 for sure he's a supremely skilled slugger like Duran after moving up to 60kg.

    Yeah, that's why i didn't quote you.

    FWIW, i never thought he looked that good as a pressure fighter. Hearns broke his hand in round 1 and the fight was as good as over at that moment.

    Indeed. Ouma was, and still is, a tough out for anyone. Good shout.

    At times Paul Williams fought as a pressure fighter.

    PW is the last ****ing person you want to study film on if you're trying to learn. He does everything, everything wrong from a technical standpoint.

    Marvin Johnson is my favourite, though. There's loads tbh, and they're almost always super fun to watch.
