    Brawler/Slugger/Swarmer

    What do you consider to be the differences between these three types?

    Accuracy and timing IMO.

    Any dumb can hit someone, but if they have the above at least they have separation from the choices.

      swarmer comes forward throws alot of punches.
      brawler just fights; no strategy. he's the dumbest of the bunch.
      a slugger is a power puncher who doesn't box just throws power punches, he's more collected than a brawler.

          swarmer = no power go for volume (example: pwill)

          brawler = take a punch to give a punch, toe-to-toe fighter (example: corrales R.I.P.)

          slugger = power puncher / hayemakerer (example: ponce deleon)

            I always saw a swarmer as an individual who gives the opposition no time to get set by maintaining a high work rate. A bit like Margarito.

            Brawlers I see as fighters who are quite happy to go toe to toe with another fight.

            Sluggers I see as fighters who are looking for that big hit.

              In my opinion slugger and brawler are the same two things. Swarmer is a volume puncher.

                Does the distance they often fight at come into account?
