    There were many in the Heavyweight Division and Lower Weight Classes. The Boxer - Punchers. I like to call them Hybrids. Joe Louis comes to mind immediately. There were many more.

    George very well fits the criteria. He was as skilled as they came at what he did.

    The term slugger cannot be applied to someone whom is technically acceptable hence the name, they are able to win fights with there abilities which while skillfully applied but are devoid scientific form hence they are considered sluggers, brawlers ect.
