Who I am missing?

[cambay411]

I need Sugar Ray like fighters, technically classical orthodox

before 60's -
40-60's - Sugar Ray Robinson
60-70's - Ali
70's -
80's - Sugar Ray Leonard
90's - Meldrick Taylor, to some sense Mike McCallum, Kostya Tszue, Shane Mosley, Holyfield?
2000's - Mark Antonio Barera?
2010's -

I think im starting to see what you mean, classic boxing styles.


Bernard Hopkins
Amir Khan


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.

How about Andre Ward?

I will get back to you on this after I go back and watch a few of his fights but Im gonna go out on a limb and say boxer. Tho he puts pressure on fighters at times he does it from the outside im pretty sure.


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.

Out fighter/Boxer, In fighter/Swammer, Slugger.

I do not really like this classification. It only work when dealing with fighters of the same style, say two mexicans or two classical orthodox.

Only watched a little it so far but hes a natural boxer. He stays outside and when he does get in he lands and gets out. He can fight on the inside but his bread and butter is on the outside.

Oba Carr was a masterful boxer who pure quality to watch.
