Not an answer to thread, but..
Fighters that never take a step backwards?
I've only ever seen Provodnikov take maybe 3 steps backwards in his entire career after eating ten bombs in a row against a guy with 90% KOs to his name. Would've put any sane man into a coma. -

tyson really wasn't a pressure fighter. he was a technician with a short body that required a short distance, but who wasn't as effective all the way inside.
the greatest pressure fighter of all time at HW was frazier. he got inside and worked the body at a huge cost. beat muhammad ali in 1971 with that style.Comment

I'll throw **** Tiger in there.
Not really a pressure fighter per se more of a boxer puncher but when his gameplan was to pressure he was awesome at it.Comment
