The opposite might be true of Moorer, he became more of a boxer as he needed, especially against heavyweights like Holyfield and Foreman. Pacquiao was another that at times was a boxer and other times was highly aggressive. Jirov was an good call as an aggressive southpaw.

    Jose Luis Ramirez and Bazooka Limon would be considered aggressive fighters and Paul Williams seemed to prefer aggression over boxing.
    I was going to say Ramirez but I always go back to the Arguello fight where he fought the entirety of the fight off the back foot.

      That's true. Arguello had that affect on people.

        What would you label him as then?

        In my opinion, Kalule was a textbook box-fighter that slanted heavily towards methodical, quite aggressive put still patient counter-punching, in a similar manner as Juan Manuel Marquez to give you an example.

        Great to see that someone more is a fan of him.

          Pernell could get aggressive quickly when he wanted too. He was a complete fighter who did everything very good! Pete could bring it!

            I saw his sensational win over Marquez last night. He wasn't just aggressive, he was relentless.

              Victor Ortiz was pretty aggressive.

                Nazeem Hamed fits the bill to a degree. Granted, he was a switch hitter (but most often southpaw) and he did often do the elusive limbo dancer routine. But he was balls out aggressive when he felt he had a man hurt.

                  I wouldn't really call him an aggresive southpaw to be honest, he leant back and countered a lot of the times he was in the middle between aggresive and counter puncher. Chiquita Gonzalez def fits the bill. What do u think of Zaragoza? He sometimes could be aggresive but he was mostly a counter puncher.

                    I haven't seen this fight but I remember his fight against Calderon- very relentless

                      With Hamed, it varied from fight to fight. Sometimes he did do the come forward aggressive style (the Billy Hardy fight jumps to mind). Other times he'd dance and jab (Badillo). Other times a ruthless display of combination punching (Robinson). But he was never less than completely aggressive when he had a man hurt.
