They sound very similar, can anyone give me any good examples of each?(boxers, contrasts, etc)
What's the difference between a boxer/puncher and an educated brawler?

boxer-puncher: essentially a boxer (in the sense that he has solid technique and usually doesn't fight on the inside) with power. they usually play the aggressor, but they're not as balls-to-the-wall as a brawler. i guess joe louis and ray robinson would be the quintessential "boxer-punchers".
educated brawler: someone who likes to get on the inside and trade punches, but goes about the task with a bit of finesse. they're deceptively skillful at putting punches together, cutting off the ring and smothering/avoiding their opponent's output. chavez snr and duran spring to mind. -
