    Barry was all about activity and in your face being and aggression throwing and throwing, but i suppose some might say Boxer/puncher.
    I'd say he was a swarmer.

    A boxer-puncher in my opinion is someone like Foster, Arguello, Monzon, Hearns, also Hagler early in his career (later on he became more of a pressure fighter).

        4. Slugger

        That was an easy pick for me but the others are more complicated.
