    2. counter puncher (hopkins, jm marquez)
    3. aggressive bomb thrower (pac, tyson)
    4. defensive specialist/jabber (floyd)
    5. square-up boxer (kessler, abraham)

    of course, there are other examples of different styles, but that list is more sensical than yours...and of course, most great fighters can exhibit multiple styles at times...
    completely different....

        no fighters are exactly the same, but kessler and abraham are similar in many ways...

        both of them have minimal movement, like to square up their fighter, and methodically try to exploit their opponents...both are heavy fisted, both are patient fighters...

        of course you can pinpoint slight differences...for example, abraham's hands are generally held a lot higher...

        but how can you call them "completely" different? what am i missing?

          Aggressive slickster is a bit of a weird name for a style.

          Each fighter is different obviously, but basic styles are:

          .Boxer/stylist
          .fighter/puncher
          .swarmer
          .boxer-puncher
          .unorthodox
          .counter puncher

          My favourite style is probably the counter puncher who can mix it up, like Toney, JMM and Floyd BITD
