Anybody who knows boxing knows that Quarry was a great counter puncher.

Can someone explain the terms and also the differences inside each line ? :

boxer/puncher , pure boxer , counter-puncher

slugger , brawler , infighter



and what is the difference between these :
lead , overhand , cross
is it true that the difference overhand and cross are counter punches while lead is not ?

Right straight goes through your opponents guard, in between there arms / most direct path to the head / body.

Cross is a counter which goes over the opponents lead hand
(Left arm / shoulder or right arm / shoulder depending on if they're orthodox or southpaw).

Overhand right is somewhat of a arcing punch , it's a shorter punch then the cross and fired from a different angle, ussualy involves loading up where the cross and straight don't need to be, it sort of acts in a corckscrew type motion, ussualy used to go over a jab.

Boxer - Puncher:

Pure Boxer: Term seems to get thrown around loosely on here / in NSB and people will give different thoughts on what they think is a Pure Boxer.
I think the pure boxer is someone who sticks to the basics and has mastered them, usually fighting on the back foot, use the basic punches, straights, hooks and uppercuts (no firing from weird angles) they know how to fight on the inside and can also box on the outside. Often tend to be talented counter punchers as well. They don't try to be fancy by fighting with their hands at waist length and they don't waste any movements.
Different from Outboxers.
Examples; Bernard Hopkins, James Toney, Jersey Joe Walcott, Ezzard Charles, George Benton, Floyd Mayweather Jr, Ivan Calderon etc

Counter-Puncher:

Slugger:

Brawler: Aka Swarmer, ussualy have a smaller height compared to the other style users, this is because they have to turn their height disadvantage into an advantage by being able to make themselves a difficult / smaller target to hit so they can get in on the inside / comfortable range of their oponent and overwhelm them by throwing many punches, ussualy throw from strange angles and the most common punch they use is a hook (probably because it comes from a wider angle and restricts their opponents movement), open to Big punchers as they have to continually come forward, need to be good at cutting of the ring.
Examples; Joe Frazier, Henry Armstrong, Mike Tyson, Aaron Pryor, Julio Cesar Chavez, Jack Dempsey, Jake LaMotta etc

Infighter:

(Will be editing the post as I go along)

Edit; Added Brawler description.

Right straight goes through your opponents guard, in between there arms / most direct path to the head / body.

Cross is a counter which goes over the opponents lead hand
(Left arm / shoulder or right arm / should depending on if they're orthodox or southpaw).

Overhand right is somewhat of a arcing punch , it's a shorter punch then the cross and fired from a different angle, ussualy involves loading up where the cross and straight don't need to be, it sort of acts in a corckscrew type motion, ussualy used to go over a jab.

agreed, but in addition:

the right cross is something that needs to be timed so your opponent is coming forward throwing the a jab at the same time your throwing the right causing both your force and their force to come together at the moment of impact. its also something that one should only try when the opponent gets lazy and isnt raising their lead shoulder with the jab.

on the other hand the over hand right is more for when your opponent dosnt tuck his chin in you dont need to time it or go over the jab or anything like that....unless you want to but if your opponents chins not tucked you can land over hand rights all day.
