    There is no textbook examples of styles. Every boxer fall somewhere in between.

    Wow look at you!
    You're probably a spelling Nazi too I'll bet!
    I would say Marciano slugged it just fine in the fights of his I watched, namely Archie Moore and Ezard Charles .

    I suppose you can call him a swarmer as well.
    Hats off to you sir! You must be a real devil with the ladies

    Slugger is the same as brawler to me, or out brawling the other guy. Jack Dempsey is my pick, not because he was just a slugger but when you can punch so rapidly with venom you don't need much else for 95% of opponents.
