      Weren't Tyson, Marciano, Dempsey more of brawlers than sluggers?

          I thought slugger was like Shavers, Foreman and brawlers were Marciano, Tyson who were combo and fast good.

            Nigel Benn was a super-slugger, until he calmed down abit.

              foreman was the epitome of slugger!

              i dont know if i count tyson as a slugger he threw fast combos and showed good skills and speed which arent traditionally slugger traits

                    Tyson, Liston or even Frazier shouldn't be called Sluggers. they were a lot more technical. I'll start off a list of sluggers.

                    1-George Foreman
                    2-The late Gerald Mcclellan
                    3-Early Nigel Benn
                    4-Earnie Shavers
                    5-Thomas Hearns if he WANTED to slug.
                    6-Rocky Marciano
                    7-David Tua
                    8-Jack Dempsey
                    9-Razor Ruddock
                    10-Maybe Ibeabuchi

                    Chin is very important for slugger to be good. Speed and agility aswell. George Foreman had a chin and power punching ability. If he had the same heart as after Ali...Marciano could slug and had heart, but he was a bit slower and couldnt put many combos together.
