    Sweet Science (one who employs more than one style) Fighter is: Ali
    Boxer-Puncher is: Holyfield
    Brawler is: Corrie Sanders could box (watch Ross Puritty fight), but in most of his fights he was a brawler, so my vote goes to him
    Counter Puncher is: Larry Holmes
    Inside Fighter: Mike Tyson and Joe Frazier
    Pressure Fighter (one who brings the fight regardless of punch output): Riddick Bowe
    Volume/ Workrate Fighter (one who throws a lot when pressuring or getting pressed): Usyk. I hate monotonus workrate of the guys like Leo Santa Cruz. Usyk's high workrate is more creative and pelasing to watch (different tempo and angles)

    Pacquiao is not a pressure fighter. Hes a volume, in-and-out fighter. Or at least was in his prime.

    I think MAB #1 would disagree. In and out doesn't negate pressure that IMO is simply detailing how he applies his pressure. How does one have a high volume...without applying pressure? Any examples I'm cool to learn!!

    Post fight Diaz said he thought Manny & Freddie were both in the ring hitting him at the same time! :lol:
    Against Rios, he said he thought he was fighting an octopus lol!

    I understand your assessment though, yes he does dart in and out but I say that is only when he is fighting competent boxers who counter well...but when his man his hurt...he will not step out until the job is done, to which is why Morales III sat on his bum & said 'no mas.'
    That IMO is the result of a fighter pressuring his foe with a high volume of punches at lightening speed with power to boot!
