Brawler vs Swarmer.

Ike Ibeabuchi (Brawler) vs. David Tua (Swarmer/Slugger)

 

:rofl

 

On the outside yes and a Slugger/Swarmer hybrid on the attack with the volume of a swarmer and the power, punch selection and accuracy of a slugger.

Kovalev is the antithesis of flat footed. He is capable of throwing power punches in combination while up on his toes and moving it's a rare ability for a power puncher to possess especially with heavier guys. That's the most dangerous thing about him his mobility as a puncher and ability to throw with power without having to sit down on his punches.

 

Sugar Shane vs Ricardo Mayorga .

Although too bad this fight took place when both were past their prime , if these 2 would have met up early 2000s in their peaks , it would have truly been a classic .

No way in hell Shane stopping that Version of Mayorga .

 

The best example of this matchup is probably Frazier vs Stander. Pure swarmer vs pure brawler, both operating at a high level.

A more modern example would be Pacquiao vs Rios.

 

Pacquaio-swarmer
Margarito-brawler
Tho Manny outboxed him using speed and angles and Margo was sticking the jab in Manny's face the first 2 rounds from long range.

Juan Diaz-swarmer
Popo Freitas-slugger, tho he could box too.

Williams-swarmer
Margarito-brawler

 

No sluggers are the same as brawlers like George Foreman. And swarmers are like Rocky Marciano.

 

Pac-Margarito

 

Aron Pryor was a swarmer. Tyson was a brawler.
