Pressure fighters moving through the weights

[JazMerkin]

The fighters moving through the weights and being successful usually special gifted fighters with a variety of attributes, speed power skill

are there any fighters who relied on pressure who have been able to move through the weights, won a world title at one weight and moved up to win another

one example in another thread is hatton, he wasnt at his best at welterweight but he did win a title of a sort

any more?

Duran?

I thought I was generalising when I said that & now you use it in this thread

Like I said in the other thread, Henry Armstrong is the greatest example, he really was the complete pressure fighter. To be fair, I've just thought that Jeff Fenech is a good example, as he went up through the weights early in his career.

Duran is often called a pressure fighter, but for my money he tended to box his way in & out. I think how great he was on the inside leads people to label him a pressure fighter, but for my money he used far more of his defensive skills & his excellent jab, particularly once he got above Lightweight. His tactics more generally depended on the opponet & I think a lot of people look at the 1st Leonard fight & categorize him as a brawler or pressure fighter. From the footage I've seen of him, a similar thing takes place with regard to Harry Greb, who used similar in & out movement to burst in with flurries, but still boxed his way in.

It's hard to say Hatton was really successful as he got stopped by Mayweather & in his only other fight at the weight struggled badly with Luis Collazo, although I had him nicking it by a point.
