Is it me, or has the art of pressure fighting died in boxing? Other than GGG, who’s pretty much inactive and close to retiring, I have yet to see any modern fighter employ such a come forward tactic/style, especially in the heavyweight division. Swarming is pretty much gone in the HW division. Such a pity since old heavyweights frequently employed such style; Marciano, Tyson, Dempsey, Frazier, Tua, and Norton come to mind.

Are there any fighters today that employ the style of these aforementioned men, particularly in the HW division?
