Who is (or was) your favorite "stalk, stun and close" type of guy?

Marciano's an old favorite of mine. His opponent's as smart as they were, became accidents waiting to happen. Marciano would catch you when you're in act of countering him. A lot of it was Goldman's handy work, but Rocky was the delivery boy.

Monzon is right up there too. He looked like raw fighter, but my god he was deceptively good.

Marciano just kept coming and coming and coming breaking you down by hitting every exposed part of your body. Once you arm came down, it was all over. He ruined several fighters by the way he stalked and destroyed them in the ring. Rex Layne and Roland LaStarza (second fight) come to mind and he didn''t do Charles any good. Funny, but the way Ricky came at Paulie reminded me of this. Never let up. Pure relentless.

He was indeed relentless. Rocky would smother his opponents by crowding and swarming in with punches. It's how he was made to fight. Tough and relentless he came in to win.

Ricky really came at Paulie with such an impassioned focus that he would not be denied. It wasn't Paulie's night and he didn't give Ricky much problems, but that doesn't take away from the determination that Hatton put on.

And Monzon was like a slow moving monster that just kept coming fiorward until he stunned his prey like an animal on the Discovery Channel. Then, he moved in for a quick and clean kill. Damnn. Gotta love that.
