    Who are some modern fighters who would be considered swarmers, and who would be considered infighters?

    I wouldn't call Kirkland a swarmer, he's an old fashioned slugger - he doesn't really overwhelm his opposition with punches, he just walks through their shots to try and throw his.

    Most swarmers by their very definition are good on the inside. Joe Calzaghe comes to mind as a swarmer, Margarito was a swarmer too.
