    I'm actually confused by the difference. Duran was a hell of a boxer, if the purpose of boxing is to hurt your opponent and win the fight. If it's to hit and not get hit, then perhaps not, but the boxing I enjoy watching requires that the boxers fight! And yes, since they are stepping into a boxing ring with gloves on, that still makes them boxers in my book.
