Who had the best style?

[butterfly1964]

I thought the purpose of the thread was to sort out the best of individual styles. I wouldn't say that Liston was much of a slugger at all he was a highly skilled boxer who packed an immensly hard punch.

He was a boxer-puncher, but he was more of a puncher than a boxer, so if you had to classify him as one thing, it would be puncher IMO.

[Southpaw Stinger]

[The Raging Bull]

For me it's

boxer: Muhammad Ali

slugger: Sonny Liston

swarmer: Henry Armstrong

Ok, you got me there. Armstrong was the complete swarmer. Never stopped punching.

[King Koyle]

Boxer:Willie Pep
Slugger:Rocky Marciano

[-Hyperion-]

boxer: Ray Robinson
slugger: Big George
swarmer: Armstrong and Ouma(i just like the guy)

unorthodox: Roy Jones Jr

when he got hurt he threw big power shots IMO that makes him a puncher. boxers cover, move or jab their way out of trouble

roy jones is hard to pigeon hole isn;t he?

some people group roy ali and both sugar rays together as 'free style' boxers

[Jim_Davis]

Everyone knows Hamed was the best slugger. He was primarily a slugger.
