Then you have classic boxers like Danny Garcia who don't have the flash and speed of your Mosleys, Ali's and Leonards but a classic boxing style none the less.
I don't know if this will help but in boxing there are 3 main styles, Pure Boxer, Pressure Fighter and Slugger. Of course everyone has their personal style and there are hybrids of styles but these are the 3 root styles. Everyone is more natural at one or the other.
Gene Tunney.
How about Andre Ward?
Vernon Forrest maybe. Was straight down the line style.

Im pretty sure he doesn't do his work on the inside like a classic swammer would do.
Out fighter/Boxer, In fighter/Swammer, Slugger.
looking forWARD to it.Quote:

Oba Carr was a masterful boxer who pure quality to watch.
Nobody really like him but plenty shared similarities both in approach and in the ring. Was not sure if you meant orthodox to include only right hand fighters but I gave it a go.Quote:
