    Ken Norton and Tim Witherspoon are boxer- punchers in my opinion

    A boxer puncher is just a boxer who doesn’t use lateral movement ( as opposed to a pure boxer who does ) . Ex :James Toney ...Mike McCallum...Marlon Starling ..Carlos Ortiz

    Not always the case. Leonard, Hearns & Robinson were boxer-punchers, but had very good footwork & lateral movement.

    Lennox Lewis can punch just as hard as Bonecrusher Smith....but if I asked you to describe their respective styles ,you call Smith a puncher and Lennox a boxer ( who can punch ) ...and you wouldn’t put Witherspoon and Norton in the same category as either

    Still haven't seen a fight that compares to Benitez vs Leonard as far
    as skills shown . Both fighters were in their primes and demonstrated
    a masters class of ability.

    The Charles-Walcott series. Harold Johnson vs. Charles and Machen as well. Not too many good boxer-boxer matchups though.
