    Perhaps Not the greatest example.

    But Floyd and Castillo come to mind. Floyd looked beat and overwhelmed in the first fight. Castillo certainly made Floyd look worse than he actually was.

    I think you could definitely count Roldan as a swarmer.He had some forward momentum on the way he fought.Just waded straight in, and could punch while marching forward.He didn't need to stop and plant too much.

    His punching style was more typical of the heavy handed slugger archetype though.Put his full weight into nearly every punch, aiming to take your head off.
