Do boxer punchers generally struggle against speedy swarmers?

I’m going to assume you spar. The honest answer is YOUR RING IQ, not A vs B. I’m right handed, but I enjoy Southpaw more. I switch up all the time. If I’m fighting a swarmed, regardless of their stance, I’m usually orthodox. That’s when I can time my time my pot shots and uppercut with my right PREFERABLY. Swarmers are the best workouts, my favorite. Also depends the Ring IQ of the swarmer. Doesn’t matter how good you are if you want to be the “pure boxer” strict-fundamental head in a session, some guys come to fight knowing to offset you. It’s an acknowledgement from you and the other, and in the end, ONLY BENEFICIAL when you apply it to a professional fight or an am fight.
I love to swarm a lot myself. Anchor shots are very efficient when swarming, especially when you got guys on the ropes.

Fitting thread, I just watched Nate Campbell vs Juan Diaz today. In that case, the boxer puncher beat the crap out of the speedy swarmed.

You can see how Floyd, despite being a AAA boxer, found Marcos to be very difficult.

A “speedy swarmer” would be prime Mike Tyson while whaling anchor shots that bust through any guard. I’d say a Prime Larry Holmes would’ve peppered that style that night. Your jab also gotta be heavy imo followed by an efficient trap game.
