Boxer-Puncher beats a Pure Boxer

[D4thincarnation]

RJJ didnt exactly fight the cream of the crop during his prime either. He fought more civil service workers during that time than he did elite boxers.

Yeah he only beat James Toney and Bernard Hopkins, both pure boxers while RJJ was a boxer-puncher, but could also be viewed as unorthodox because of the uniqueness of his style.

The more I read D4thincarnation posts and threads, the less convinced I am that he even follows boxing as a sport.

But you still read.

Could you put together a thoroughly researched compilation of fights that support your thesis, for me to read when i wake up?
The sample have to be sufficiently large to not be discredited by simple variance.

Would appreciate it.

That's because Benitez could match Leonard's boxing skills and hold his own in the middle of the ring (hes still regarded as one of the best counter punchers in history). Can't say the same for Pacquaio, who is out classed against Mayweather in terms of pure skill, and without a question would be befuddled if the fight was 100% technical. He was actually technically outclassed by Marquez (who actually won more rounds) but his work rate, speed and power allowed him to get by.

SRL was the boxer-puncher Benitez was the pure boxer.

Floyd regards himself as "a boxer/puncher" . Since his early days too.
Manny is a slugger, a boxer puncher he isnt.

Back in his superfeather days Floyd was a boxer-punch but his style has developed into a pure boxer's one now.

Pacquiao was a swarmer back in the day but with slugger power, but he has developed into a boxer-puncher.

Mosley is a boxer-puncher and we all know what happened when he faced Floyd..

Mosley well past his prime and was a slugger when he faced Floyd.

Assuming they are a clone of each other then maybe, otherwise it doesn't mean ****.

You have the best quotes on this site. Who regards Manny as this?

This site for one.

Manny as all the traits of an boxer-punch, but he can slug, swarm and be a pure boxer also and his uniqueness could put him in the unorthodox category.

You say that he is WIDLEY regarding as a boxer-puncher and then link me to a one of your threads with a poll? Dude, cut it out.

well if the boxer can win more rounds he can win more rounds


the puncher always has the option of winning... the other way



you don't need an early lead
you can come from behind





the boxer / puncher doesn't always win fights
but he's certainly better off than the pure boxer

its more work to be more effective with your punches if you cant hit hard

and you''re basically limited to one gear
