What is the difference between swarmer and boxer-puncher?

[Left Hook Tua]

swarmer = Pacquiao
Boxer-puncher= Golovkin

pac hasnt been a swarmer for years.

he's a boxer puncher.

[GrandpaBernard]

boxer-puncher = Sugar Ray Robinson

swarmer = Henry Armstrong, Harry Greb, etc

[GrandpaBernard]

I never understood why many people call manny a swarmer.

He doesn't fight inside, and he's average at cutting a ring off. These two abilities are apart of swarming 101.

[VasyLomachenko]

boxer-puncher isn't simply boxers who can punch, it's boxers who look to "punch" i.e do damage with their shots, whereas a guy could have respectable power like mayweather but mainly only throw arm punches and potshots

well, respectable power isnt big power is it?

mayweather was actually a perfect example of a boxer puncher at 130, only as he moved up did he change his style and become more of a pure boxer, using his now merely respectable power just to get guys respect in order to then box their ears of.

at 130 he was a boxer but he would use those skills to either set traps and try to catch his opponent with something big or **** the body and break them down. again, an excellent example of a boxer puncher.

not necessarily (fighting inside). you can swarm people from mid range too, imo thats often more effective as it makes it harder for the opponent to hold or smother.

he is average at best when it comes to cutting the ring off though, meaning he isnt successful in swarming guys with good footwork. but he does swarm stationary opponents at times.

im not saying being a swarmer is his main style, it isnt. but it is part of his game for sure.

he use to be a swarmer and work inside and work the body pre-ROACH.

[TOBYLEE1]

Swarmer=Kirkland

Boxer-puncher=Stevenson

[Ham Porter]

A swarmer just throws uneducated punchers with no defense what so ever...a boxer puncher will work behind his jab coming forward with an educated guard

Lazza embarrassing him again.

swarmers = margarito, castillo, chavez

Chavez doesn't even fit your description of a swarmer.

[Dodger07]

Swarmers generally cut the ring off, love to get inside, and throw a high volume of punches with the intent of over whelming you with their volume and breaking you down. Pressure fighters get a bad rep and appear to be crude (some are) but many are very skilled and methodical

Boxer punchers are still aggressive but a bit more versatile and patient, can fight moving backwards, and set up big power punches with counters. They can beat fighters by knocking them out or outboxing them, depending on what kind of opponent they are facing.
