[Nostromo]

Brawling (as defined by the thread-starter). When at least one of the fighters practices this style, the fight is guaranteed not to be dull, as it forces the action.

Pure Boxer/Boxer-Puncher/Brawler Hybrid like Oneil Bell.

He runs in circles, then lays on the ropes to absorb shots just for the crowd, then he swarms the opponent, then he goes back to running circles.

Just exciting all around. It's also exciting to see how he simply covers up but takes punches...........he's a showman.

Brawlers get a bad rep. Pryor and Duran were both extremely skilled athletes. They aren't just "brawlers" who look for that one big shot.

I like boxer punchers. Guys who are skilled on the outside/inside not just fairy nancy boys who like to dance and pop the jab. I like guys like Winky, Hatton, Mosley..if we're talking oldies guys like Hagler/Hearns/Arguello. Guys like that.

My favorite fighters are Hagler, Chavez, Julian Jackson, Larry Holmes, Mike McCallum.....mostly different types of fighters.

Though not the one of the bunch I rooted hardest for, I find myself most appreciative of the way McCallum fought. Consumate pro, super-relaxed, worked the foe over with a variety of shots to all the spots (body, of course). Perhaps, I appreciate him so much, because he was generally underappreciated ?

All those guys with the exception of Jackson were super skilled enigma's. Guys who generally get reps for being 'brawlers' but in essence these guys were super skilled guys who liked to fight and thrived off of getting hit. Jackson was just exciting as hell with that punch of his.

I think you like those iron chinned, skilled, warrior types. All of the guys you mentioned had big hearts.

Definently boxing punchers

It's important to note, SRR wasn't a boxer/puncher and was more of a mobile slugger. The theoretical boxer puncher is technical, Robinson was anything but. He'd use movement but let his hands go so fast with power shots at abandon that I don't think you could classify him as such.

Dude, this guy was skilled though. Threw straight shots, nice footwork, incredible speed. He just threw punches in bunches and got hit alot which is why people classify him as such.

I gotta go wit Boxer/Puncher as well. The guy who can actually setup his power shots/combinations with the jab (not just 1 jab but multiple jabs pumpin at his opponent) always has better control over the fight, there's no guess work! Best example to me is Floyd Mayweather Jr, early Roy Jones Jr, & my boy B-Hop(depending on who he's fighting-which is a shame). Now can u Dig Dat?!?!?

My All Time Fav's

- Joe Louis
- Muhammed Ali
- Sugar Ray Leonard
- Marvin Hagler
- Bernard Hopkins
- Floyd Mayweather Jr
- (early)Roy Jones Jr.
- (early) James Toney
