    Which is easier: Chasing down a boxer? outboxing a brawler?

    Which is easier in boxing... Chasing down/catching/getting close to a mover? or outboxing a heavy-handed puncher trying to take your head off?

    I myself prefer trying to force a mover into exchanges with me.

    That's individual...It all depends on what kind of boxingstyle that you bring to the table

          Two things come to mind. One; we see the latter far more frequently than the former. Two; there's no need for a second reason.

            There's a reason more boxers than brawlers reach the top of the sport.

              ****** question..

              it obviously depends on how good the boxer or brawler in question is. mainly how good his jab, footwork and ring generalship is.

              for example someone just circling the same direction with a poor jab is easy to chase down. just like someone slow and unable to cut of the ring is easy to keep at bay.

              even if we say they are equally good at what they do, then its the other fighters style and skill which matters. some guys prefer opponents who come at them while others have an easier time dealing with boxers.

              you cant say one is easier than the other in general, its too broad a statement and an over simplification.

                As other have said, it really depends on the individual. Some brawler types are good at cutting the ring off then they go to work. Other are like a kid chasing a balloon.

                  Yeah, it really isn't either. Completely dependent on the fighters, style, skill etc.

                    Depends on your own fighting style.

                    Canelo would fight it hard to chase down a boxer, Angulo would find it hard to outbox a brawler.
