    i dont think auracle21 knows what 'Pure boxer' means

    for example duran, marciano, dempsey even leonard isn't a pure boxer

    I'd say Duran was a good 'pure' boxer, actually.

    Mike Mccallum is another excellent technician.

    Duran was a great boxer ( technically sound ) but i wouldn't say he was a pure boxer,

    It's a really good list of well-rounded fighters, not necessarily pure boxers. I get what you are going for, but people in here get hung up on technicalities.

    I'd say Duran was a pure boxer, he's arguably one of the most complete Boxers since i can remember

    Henry Armstrong, Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano and Jack Demspey? I don't think so.

    No offense but, I don't really think you know what a pure boxer is.
