    He really never had to box anyone to win due to his power. The Marquez fights were close because he had to swarm Marquez and he lost to that, lost to a better boxer morales, whom he tried to swarm and then, he couldn't outbox. He swarmed Cotto, not a boxing match.

    He tried to box Mayweather and won, maybe 2 rounds? Enough said. Great boxer but he was definitely a swarmer, IMO

    Swarmer early on his career and then boxer-puncher on the latter.
