Briefly touched on this subject on another thread but what type of fighter would you say Manny Pacquiao is.
Five options:
Slugger: Like Foreman, Benn, Liston,
Swarmer: Like Greb, La Motta, Margarito JCC
Pure Boxer: Like Ali, Whitaker, Martinez
Boxer Puncher: Like Hearns, Louis, Donaire
Pacquiao can fight many different style and has change his style throughout his career.
He has been a Slugger, Swarmer, Boxer Puncher and a pure boxer.
So there is a fith category for fighters that don't fit into the mould and can fight all these styles
Unorthodox: Fighters such as Sugar Ray Robinson.
A good example of Pacquiao being a swarmer would be Barrera one.
Barrera could not get away and could not stop the onslaught.
When Pacquiao fought Oscar and Margarito, he was a pure boxers, letting his superior boxing ability show.
The Cotto fight and Marquez II Pacquiao was a boxer punher.
And Pacquiao was a Slugger against Hatton.
Pacquiao can and has fought all styles
