    Would have to be a 250lb behemoth with a mr.incredible square iron jaw.

    The way these hw’s are hitting today, swarming them would be suicide, particularly Joshua and Wilder.

    Imo that's exactly how you fight Wilder to comprehensively beat him, like ko him, its easier than playing the long game with him and far safer, Wilder isn't an inside fighter

    Well, of course, both Fraizer and Marciano, who were both capable of throwing a hundred punches in the 15th round of a fight. This is, by the way, my personal dream fight.

    Dempsey as well.

    Chisora is often called a crowder or swarmer, although he has, throughout his career, shown up our of shape at times and not lived up to it.

    Though always remembered as a huge puncher, Mike Tyson had every punch in the book and could really overwhelm guys with combinations.

    Early Clifford Etienne was a very effective boxer-puncher with an overall swarming/suffocating style. He really mauled Lawrence Clay Bey and Lamon Brewster and took away their '0's' with relentless pressure and combination punching which relied on superior conditioning and mental fortitude to maintain that torrid pace. After the 7 knockdown loss to Fres Oquendo, he seemed to really lose confidence and overall aggressiveness. He totally went off the rails after ko losses to Mike Tyson and Giant Valuev and is back in prison I believe.
