Who was the best swarmer/ pressure fighter ever?

In addition to those listed so far, I'd definitely add Jung Koo Chang.

 

Marciano and Frazier, and sort of Tyson? Armstrong and LaMotta were also really good. You could sort of call Jack Dempsey a swarmer too, and if so he'd be up there as well.

 

Most recently Roman Gonzalez.

 

Harada

 

I was honesty expecting Fenech to get overlooked here — glad to see he didn’t. Highly underrated guy at his peak IMO.

 

I think Armstrong was just more consistently in shape and focused. He might be a shade better than Duran up close but Duran was more well-rounded. Hank had the better offense inside, Duran the better defense. I'd kill (or perhaps die) to be stuck in an elevator with those guys.

 

Terry McGovern deserves a mention too.

But I do not think anyone ultimately tops Armstrong.

 

Margarito walked thru walls to keep the pressure on you. I bet Cotto still checks his closet and under his bed at night to make sure Antonio isn't there and he can sleep peacefully. Great pressure fighter whose sheer toughness and unbending aggression would break a lot of fighters.

 

Your right. ,And I did forgot about him. I guess in his case he was very dynamic, but his arch was very short.

 

Probably Harry Greb or Henry Armstrong.

 

The obvious candidates are Harry Greb and Henry Armstrong.

 

Nice list...

Round 6 of a Marciano-Moore should earn Marciano a spot in your list...
