    Ha that’s cute. Before the Barrios fight everyone was saying how he can’t box off the backfoot and all he does is walk people down.

    He’s a complete fighter. He adjusts to his opponent like all elite fighters do. You can’t fight the same way with everyone. That’s how you get knocked out or outsmarted.

    Mayweather knew he couldn’t backpedal against Canelo because that would give him momentum and power.

    Canelo knew he had to stay in the middle of the ring in GGG2 to take his confidence away.

    Shakur had to fight on the backfoot against Joet instead of trying to stand his ground.
    What's cute? the guy is one of the lowest output fighters in the sport. You can't really be a swarmer if that's the case.

      A very cautious counter puncher. I think he is boring to watch, you can't be the face of boxing barely throwing punches sorry.

        Davis style is to handicap his opponent before fighting.

          A lunging counter puncher. If he ever steps up sooner or later he gets caught.

            Counter Power Puncher I guess you can call him....

            Tank have Gears though, more Dangerous when he starts walking forward and smells Blood too

            he does have Boxing Skills to go with that Power, not Multi-Dimensional Fighter

              Neither. He's a boxer-puncher. He can fight on the inside and brawl if he has to. But he has too many dimensions to his game to be called just a slugger or swarmer.

                What swarmers out there have low punch outputs? Who swarms and does nothing?

                  “Shaking head”, he’s a COUNTER PUNCHER! Defensive minded power hitter.

                    He’s transitioning into a very patient counter puncher with KO power and good defense. Pretty deadly style. First half and second half Tank are very different styles as well.

                      Not really. He will struggle vs a sharp boxer with length. He will get his ears boxed off waiting for the perfect shot.
