    Mosley is a slugger and Margarito was a swarmer. Mayorga was a swarmer and Trinidad was a slugger.

    When I think of swarmers its frenetic energy, sometimes slappy but always in motion and frontal. They keep so many windows open in defense they can lose track. Sluggers wait calculate and drop the hammer. Also I could watch that 1st kd of Jones 101 times. Just an absolute rifle shot!

    Maybe a Byrd vs Tua/Ibeabuchi. Canizales vs Sergio Reyes?

    Hatton? He was always about not giving you time to reset. Not so much speed or technique as relentlessness. That is why he could out Tzyu Kostya but not handle the speed of Manny and the timing of Floyd. Below that level he was a nightmare maelstrom of malevolent rage that most could not handle.

    ​Lemieux v Golovkin ...... which ironically turned into a pure boxing match!

    Tszyu was flat footed and needed a lot of time and space to do his thing. I also believe that Tszyu was very overrated, the money was there for him to move up and fight the big names at 147 but he knew better.

    That was a peak Hatton and that version was a force against anyone. If Floyd was in the opposite corner that night the fight would have been 50/50.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    No Mayweather would have embarrassed Tszyu. Honestly it would have been humiliating for Tszyu if he’d have made it to Floyd. Hatton at his best was good but Floyd was great and he’d beat any version of Hatton on his worst night.
