Re: Who is (or was) your favorite "stalk, stun and close" type of guy?
Margorito is my favorite. I love this monster’s style of starting slow but using a high punch volume and incoming pressure to wear out his opponents setting them up for brutal closure. But there are three addition factors that accentuate his particular brand of seek and destroy. First, his granite-like chin allows him to keep the pressure on; secondly, his stamina is great and he gets stronger as the fight progresses; and thirdly (and most startling), is his unique way of virtually jogging after his tiring foes, something guaranteed to deplete anyone’s spirit. Michael Katsidis is another who does this, but he doesn’t have the chin to compliment it.
