    We know that a slugger beats a swarmer, because the swarmer only moves forward, which works in the slugger's favor since he doesn't have to chase him to land his big punches.

    So, what were some fights between a slugger and a swarmer? I already know about Foreman-Frazier and Liston-Patterson.

    You could probably call Donaire vs Darchinyan. Slugger vs swarmer

    There aren't many sluggers at the top in boxing.

    Most of the top fighters can either box or brawl.

    Duran wasn`t as much of a swarmer at the higher weights, the fighter he swarmed the most at light middle was Davey Moore and his tactics were amazing in that fight, he stood of than D.Moore because of Hearns reach and punch, he didn`t seem to know what to do with Hearns.

    Fenech vs Azumah Nelson either fight give or take but Nelson didn`t land any hard punches in their first fight and J.Fenech didn`t swarm as much in the rematch so what the hell am I talking about?! LOL!
