It's a fine line between the 2 styles. I doubt most guys would know the difference (maybe I'm one!). PAC vs hatton is an example. Tho not a good fight. With PAC being swarmer n hatton the brawler. Margarito vs Williams a good example of swarmer vs swarmer. N rios vs alvarado 2 brawlers. I think the primary difference between the 2 styles is punch output. Like, a brawler might throw less but throw em all hard and a swarmer throws hard shots as well as combinations. But it's really a cloudy seperation. I'd say one is a sub category of the other. All swarmers are brawlers but not all brawlers are swarmers. Maybe I'm wrong tho.
Calzahge vs lacy is a horrible example. Joe doesn't qualify as either. Joe was more of a slapper haha
Yeah right, look at his devastating power, knocking guys out cold! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACgTJhEdj5M
I wouldn't call kovalev a boxer puncher. To flat footed n slow. Not saying anything negative just sayin...boxers need speed in my book. I'd call him a slugger.
He's too accurate to be a slugger. He picks his shots, has decent footwork and timing. He's a boxer puncher imo. He deffinetly ain't slick though.
