    Joe Calzaghe could stop guys with a four hit combo on the gloves. How's that for offensive power :!:

    No, because he starts acting like a ***** when his opponent isn't afraid of him and weathers the early storm...unlike Rocky who never stopped beating the **** out of his opponents and sent them to hospitals.

    This could be broken down a bit as there is different styles of pressure fighter. The in your face grinders like Chavez and Armstrong, then there's the more long range pressure fighters like Hearns, Arguello, G man etc.

    A quick list in no order.

    Roberto Duran
    Chavez Sr
    Joe Frazier
    Rocky Marciano
    Jack Dempsey
    Harry Greb
    Mike Tyson
    Tommy Hearns
    Alexis Arguello
    SRR
    SRL
    Carlos Ortiz
    Joe Louis
    Jake Lamotta
    Rubin Oivares
    Chung Koo Chang
    Benny Lynch
    Arron Pryor
    Ike Williams
    and many more.

    In terms of record and reputation Greb could well be the man to top this subject but SRR is my pick because he's on film and was obviously blessed with savage offence from any range.
