    The question is really limited due to the fact there are only a couple of good “Swarmers” at HW.

    Could we get a list of who you consider a swarmer?

    I tremble to think what Jimmy Young would’ve done to Liston. *shudder*

    Frazier and Marciano are certainly the best 2 in the swarmer catagory..

    Let's ask another question.....

    Aside from Sonny & George, who else would be most effective against the Swarmer?

    Well Sonny and George would both beat Rocky most likely. But for different reasons and Frazier could stop Liston in my opinion and we have seen what George did to Joe already.

    Well I would say if you’re saying Frazier and Marciano are your best men and you want them beaten handily I think Wlad would make easy work of both. He would do better then Liston in my opinion.

    Lewis imo with his ability to control distance, power, uppercuts he would be a pain for anyone

    I respectfully disagree. I think Dempsey was superior to Marciano but Rocky's number 3 for sure. Or are you talking about accomplishments? In which case, I'd agree whole-heartedly.

    According to Chok, Liston and Foreman's numerous physical and stylistic advantages, are actually disadvantages! :lol:

    By all means we can include Dempsey.
    A valid point buddy.

    I agree, Liston and Foreman are the absolute worst match-up stylistically for a swarmer.
