    Armstrong was one of them. McGovern deserves consideration.

    No.undercard fights are hard to come by. For instance the great FRANKLIN-Douglas one under Duran-Viruet and Cobb-Mercado from Holmes-Snipes

    Harry Greb, Without a doubt one of the greatest pressure fighters of all time.

    D Qawi, Marciano, Duran. Great in your face fighters.

    Henry Armstrong while not original seems to be left out of your OP. He knew how to take away any punch he wanted and could make you work from the outside to the clinch at the centre of the ring.

    Inside fighting suffered at large in popularity with the change of glove design.
    Which is reasonable to me.

    Greb, Duran, Armstrong, Dempsey, Marciano, Frazier, Chavez, Basilio, Fullmer, LaMotta, Lomachenko, etc.

    -Tyson gets listed a swarmer often but that would mostly be his pre-prison career, after that he was basically a one punch at a time slugger.

    -Calzaghe was sort of an unorthodox swarmer as was Ken Norton.
