What is the difference between swarmer and boxer-puncher?

Swarmers generally cut the ring off, love to get inside, and throw a high volume of punches with the intent of over whelming you with their volume and breaking you down. Pressure fighters get a bad rep and appear to be crude (some are) but many are very skilled and methodical Boxer punchers are still aggressive but a bit more versatile and patient, can fight moving backwards, and set up big power punches with counters. They can beat fighters by knocking them out or outboxing them, depending on what kind of opponent they are facing. Swarmers include: Chavez Frazier Armstrong Pacquiao (young) Pryor Maidana Rios Margarito Santa Cruz Williams Kirkland Angulo Juan diaz Jose Luis Castillo Hatton Boxer-Punchers include: Hearns Duran Hagler Pacquiao (present) De la hoya Trinidad Cotto Matthysse Marquez Barrera Morales Canelo Kovalev Stevenson

A swarmer just throws uneducated punchers with no defense what so ever...a boxer puncher will work behind his jab coming forward with an educated guard Lazza embarrassing him again. :dunce: swarmers = margarito, castillo, chavez Chavez doesn't even fit your description of a swarmer.

Swarmer=Kirkland Boxer-puncher=Stevenson

I never understood why many people call manny a swarmer. He doesn't fight inside, and he's average at cutting a ring off. These two abilities are apart of swarming 101. he use to be a swarmer and work inside and work the body pre-ROACH.

I never understood why many people call manny a swarmer. He doesn't fight inside, and he's average at cutting a ring off. These two abilities are apart of swarming 101. not necessarily (fighting inside). you can swarm people from mid range too, imo thats often more effective as it makes it harder for the opponent to hold or smother. he is average at best when it comes to cutting the ring off though, meaning he isnt successful in swarming guys with good footwork. but he does swarm stationary opponents at times. im not saying being a swarmer is his main style, it isnt. but it is part of his game for sure.

boxer-puncher isn't simply boxers who can punch, it's boxers who look to "punch" i.e do damage with their shots, whereas a guy could have respectable power like mayweather but mainly only throw arm punches and potshots well, respectable power isnt big power is it? mayweather was actually a perfect example of a boxer puncher at 130, only as he moved up did he change his style and become more of a pure boxer, using his now merely respectable power just to get guys respect in order to then box their ears of. at 130 he was a boxer but he would use those skills to either set traps and try to catch his opponent with something big or bang the body and break them down. again, an excellent example of a boxer puncher.

swarmer = Pacquiao Boxer-puncher= Golovkin pac hasnt been a swarmer for years. he's a boxer puncher.

Swarmer = pressure fighter. They cut the ring off and relentlessly throw. Boxer-puncher = basically a boxer with power and a more offensive mindset than a pure boxer. They are usually versatile and can fight on the backfoot or frontfoot and have good all-round ability. Examples of active swarmers - Golovkin, Porter, Kovalev Examples of active boxer-punchers - Thurman, Canelo, Haye

swarmer = Pacquiao Boxer-puncher= Golovkin lol....... not sure how this is a race bait post, but i'll just assume it is, given the rest fo the posting history of said alt.

swarmer = Pacquiao Boxer-puncher= Golovkin Manny is no longer a swarmer at all

Volume of punches,, Swarmer usually let their hands go more, not uncommon for them to have 100 punches a round,, Boxer-puncher isn't as active, but they look to cause serious damage when they do throw.. They set up the shots behind the jab or off of movement.. Probably alittle more accurate with each punch having a purpose/reason

Swarmer - Leo Santa Cruz Boxer/Puncher - Miguel Cotto

Shawn Porter-Kell Brook. That's a recent example of a swarmer vs boxer puncher.

it would probably be more appropriate to ask what they have in common. the differences are abundant, and nobody has all day to explain them to a newb, brih.

Hello, Can you please explain the difference between the following two styles: swarmer and boxer-puncher? Thanks a lot. swarmers are pressure fighters, aggressive high punch output guys. boxer punchers are skilled boxers with power and good offense. boxer-punchers = trinidad, de la hoya, barrera swarmers = margarito, castillo, chavez

Swarmer has been pretty well defined but it is a specific derivative of a pressure fighter based on activity and staying up in the opponent. It is a very effective form of using offense to help supplement defense both through keeping the other guy busy blocking shorts and putting the fight in an area that is not an advantage to them. They tend to have problems with stronger more physical guys who can mug them or push them away, or guys that can neutralize their ability to get in range. Boxer-puncher is one of the biggest catchall categories in boxing, it is really a boxer who can punch and is usually offensive minded. They have boxing skills but not usually fine tuned defensively because they are more concerned with getting theirs. They usually have problems with guys with better boxing skills because those guys will not allow them to get theirs, which forces them to chase landing that big punch when normally they are looking to set that sort of thing up.
