What is your definition for the term "puncher"

[Squabbles94806]

When boxers or fighters are described as being a "puncher," what definition comes to mind? I always thought it was someone who throws a lot of punches, but then later i've heard the term being defined as a hard hitter. Or maybe it means both; someone who throws a lot of punches and hits hard.

Are brawlers and punchers the same?

[MANGLER]

Somebody who can KO you wit 1 good shot.

edwin valero = brawler puncher
manny pacquiao = boxer/puncher

arturo gatti = brawler, not really a puncher
mickey ward = ditto
baby bull= ditto

Punchers can knock u out in any round.

Ricky Hatton & David Diaz are brawlers but not punchers.

So no, brawlers & punchers are not always the same.

juanma = perfect speciments

bingo.

has nothing to do with how many punches u throw. not about ability to knock ppl out based on accumulation of damage eighter. simply one punch KO artists.

Pacquiao in his brawler/puncher days.....

A puncher is a one hitter quitter? Dope. So i'm assuming it's good to be a puncher.
