    Depends on the fighter. Fighters of these styles have different strengths and weaknesses

    Yeah boxing is too individual a sport dependent on different physical abilities and boxing tricks to categorise people that simply.

    True. However, some styles are just wrong for others. For example a Small Pressure Fighter against a Big Powerful Slugger (Frazier/Foreman) or a Limited Slugger against a Pure Boxer (Baer/Braddock, Sullivan/Corbett). Some styles just match-up bad with others. Although that doesn't always mean that the style with the advantage will win (Marciano/Walcott).

    I really don’t think any style is all wrong for others. Again, it just depends on the fighters

    I’ll play. I guess most people don’t know how to have fun here. Not that I disagree with the notion about individual traits, but if I was a trainer I’m going to give my fighter some overall strategies to use in different situations.


    Boxer/Technician/Out-Fighter >Brawler/Slugger

    Swarmer/Pressure-Fighter/In-Fighter > Boxer/Technician/Out-Fighter

    Brawler/Slugger > I actually think this is the worst style and can be beat by everyone, but only because some people have great physical traits they pull it off. Their best chances are against other brawlers and pressure fighters.

    Boxer-Puncher > Swarmer/Pressure-Fighter/In-Fighter

    Counter-Puncher > Boxer-Puncher
