    the reason i posted this is that any time i'm in a boxing discussion with my friends or someone else who is a boxing fan they will always class someone like a barrera or a mayweather as a "boxer" and its just not as easy as that look at the 2 mentioned they have completely different styles. Who would you class as a boxer because being honest sometimes im not sure. thanks for your replies

    Not really the styles, just what I thought of when I read the list.

    manny: demonic
    PBF: skilled
    barrera: veteran
    naz: powerful
    calzaghe: quick
    hopkins: crafty
    jones: speed
    cotto: body
