Leonard could be considered a pure Boxer, although i thought he did like to stand and trade sometimes so that is why i didn't pick him in my list in that category.

Hagler i agree with.

I think to call Chavez a brawler is doing him a disservice, because i believe he he had more skill than just a straight ahead brawler, he had a better defence than people think, and he was an educated pressure fighter not just some slugger with limited skill that would follow you around the ring and not cut the corners off etc.

BTW im not saying you are wrong, just giving you reasons why i disagree with some and agree with others etc

Im sorry you did not call Chavez a brawler

I mean, i would change the word swarmer to pressure fighter.

[andrewcuff]

I had a Swamer/In-Fighter in mind when I picked Chavez! Foreman was my choice of Slugger. I definately agree when you say he was an educated pressure fighter. Far more dangerous than a fighter who keeps coming straight at you. A fight with Duran would certainly have been interesting.

What about the Top 5 from each style though? Its easy(ier!) to pick the best from each category, but I was wondering how different people's top 5 would be.
