    Julio Cesar Chavez swarmed and nullified Hector Camachos boxing skills in their 1992 bout.

    I agree w/ the first one....And the 2nd was a masterful performance, I just don't think I have ever classified Saldivar as a swarmer.

    Mayorga swarmed and smashed the technically superior Vernon Forrest in their first fight. You'd be hard pressed to find a bigger skills gap against the winning boxer at the world championship level in history :lol:

    I second Mayorga Forrest with gusto. Like a caveman against a matador. Ludicrous skills gap.

    Don't know if I'd consider the latter "fine boxers" but Edison Miranda over Allan Green and Sakio Bika over Jaidon Codrington might count. Andrade over Bute as well, despite the latter's official "win".

    Which is remarkable considering how talented a technician Ross was.
