    The general consensus in boxing is that the boxer has the edge over the slugger, & many examples of this has happened throughout boxing history.
    However, this is not always the case. Naming any fighters throughout history, which slugger would you confidently pick to beat a boxer.

    Any of Baer's victims. Everyone was a boxer compared to Baer.

    I think maidana would almost always give the low output cagey guys at 147 huge problems.

    No slugger beats every great boxer but prime Carlos Zarate had just enough boxer to add to his great slugging that he could beat almost any bantamweight boxer.

    a pure boxer Fury, imo would get bombarded by one of the best heavyweight sluggers, Frazier, FOTC Frazier murders him. If his chin was a tag chin then I could give a nod to Fury but his chin is average at best and usually just had a lot of heart.

    Yeah good pick- he just didn’t like being pressured himself by someone who could match him.

    Sung Kil Moon can beat some of the fringe cagey greats.

    Good pick. Although, Fury might be a little too big & would lean his 260+ frame on Frazier's back whenever he comes in (which would tire him out & drain his energy). 50/50 on this one.
