Yes you are right, but I think if you had to put in in one category only, then I think he would fit more in the swarmer category than in the counterpuncher category, what do you think?

Nicely said , I too think mike tyson is more of a swarmer because of his small height he utilized in fighting, but as always that's ny opinion😅😅​@@SuperAFG47

​@@SuperAFG47Ageee. He's the quintessential swarmer. He's just more successful than most...as you can't be a good swarmer without having good defence coming forward & counterpunching

​@SuperAFG47 you can be any of the four styles while also being a counter puncher.

Tyson is a counter puncher swarmer.

When have we seen Inoue on the inside or clinch fighting?

@@Cente_Bui when he fought Jason Moloney, he beat moloney at his own game which was inside work and then dismantled him so he couldn’t do anything

@@PartyCrasher04 thanks I just gave it a rewatch. Saw some super nice inside work in rounds 3/4. Mostly attacking on exit I’m tryna see how he hangs on the inside, like what we’d get from Hagler or Duran. And like how his brother fought last weekend

​@@Cente_BuiBro watch his las fight wtf 😀

@@Nothing.T I saw it live bro. I remembered it as Tapales besting Inoue on the inside, esp to the body. And that Inoue’s gameplan was work @midrange like usual. Gonna rewatch it too 😂. I also think it may have been Inoue’s worst performance, or ~ his least dominant performance outside of Donaire 1.

You are right He was very skillful and he cant be conpared to the likes of deontay wilder. But I think there would be no better category where he would fit in. Even when you rewatch the fight with Joe Frazier, he is a technical genius. In which category would you put him in? Great comment

Evander holyfield

​@SuperAFG47 in my opinion He was a mix of pressure and slugger he was able to effectively control the ring and almost never backed down. He also controlled and softened his opponents punches by framing. Slugger of course because of his overwhelming power and the ability to find knockouts unconventionally. (Walk-up uppercut, long hooks to the temple etc.)

you can be a technical slugger you just dont really need to be a slugger

​@@SuperAFG47In my opinion he was a inside pressure fighter,He had incredible ring cutting skills and when he reached his opponent or his opponent went at him like Joe Fraizer,he used arm manipulation tactics like the ones shown in this video but also body manipulation tactics which he used to stop punches before they came out and throw his opponent off balance and as a setup for his uppercuts and body hooks

dudes John Boxing

Yes, Earnie Shavers is a great example of a slugger

@@LTD538 Yeah. I think Earnie Shavers is the best example. Tbh, George Foreman did throw lots of weird punches, like his kidney shots. But still, he had a plan behind it all

@@Ricardo7250 yes George has a lot of smarts people dont give him credit for, he had immense power and great strategy, if all he had was power he would have a record more in line with shavers, perhaps even lower knockout rate because Foreman has to work to knock you out unlike Shavers who just bulldozes you with every punch

I think George Foreman is more of a Boxer puncher who is between being a pressure fighter and an inside fighter depending on who he was fighting. Although of course he did not shy away of a slugfest like in his fight with Ron Lyle

@@BaldianOfIbelin when he came out of retirement? Yes. Beforehand he was just a brawler tho

2 greats

I would say maybe a mix of an out boxer and boxer/puncher?

He had legendary power

I was going to ask this! But yeah as the creator vid said he seems like an outboxer/boxer-puncher

💪🏼

Thank you brother appreciate it

w

Yes, he definitely didn't get enough recognition at his time

Which is surprising considering a counter puncher thats also awesome at defending himself is a tough opponent

I dont think its easy to give you a boxing style when you mix it with karate takedowns tbh, you should compare only your boxing skills with the ones in a video then just call it something like karate-slugger lmao

You mean for yourself? If yes, you have to figure it out by yourself or get the help of your Coach, everyone has his individual style and attributes. For example, you can't be a slugger with no punching Power

you should compare the attributes in the video to your body, and no you dont NEED to pick one, you could be a mix, most people have a little of mix in their styles

💪🏼💪🏼

Yes hagler is one of the best switch hitters ever. There arent that many who use both stances and even the most that do, arent equally good in both stances

Marvin Hagler, Terrence Crawford

Naseem Hamed and Jaron Ennis also

Mike tyson sort of

Crawford and Iron Mike. Iron Mikes shuffle step or whatever its called would have him shift to south paw to gain a better angle for lead hooks n stuff. He just did it so fast people didn't even notice the subtle shift in stance even after they got nailed.

Hahahahaha

I also didnt mention Sugar Ray Robinson (probably one of, if not the best boxer p4p ever). But the video is not about greatness bro ✌🏼

@@SuperAFG47 ok bro

@@levifranco3641 but if he would be in here, in which boxing style category would you put him in?

Robinson just spammed kidney punches

Sugar Ray was one of the best boxers, if not the best boxer, to do it. But making the mma claim is just ignorant and you know it. Saying shit like that doesn’t do anything to further his legacy, it just sets up an argument that need not take place. The best fighters of any given combat sport are the best within their specific ruleset. Robinson is 100% optimally trained for boxing, 0% trained for kicks, takedowns and grappling. It’s not a difficult concept.

@@fivefootfive9671, None the less I still stand by what I said. SRR was a hybrid of a fighter/boxer/ puncher / slugger, who could adapt to any style or form of fighting, in his era as well as the 80's and 90's era boxing was real fighting, unfortunately it's not like that anymore, boxing has become a boring sport to watch.

​@fivefootfive9671 I practically agree with you but somewhat can't help think that the further you go back in the past, some boxers would probably put up a better fight against mma fighters than the modern ones now. This is because if I recall correctly, back then, some boxers had wrestling experience or wrestled to some extent as part of their strength training. Please give insight if you think I'm wrong. P.S. Funnily enough, Terrence Crawfard, if he learned how to check kicks, could probably challenge an mma fighter with some legitimate confidence due to his wrestling experience.

@@clintonhouston1048You can stand by what you say and _still be wrong,_ which you are.

Pressure fighter I think

Roach let him adapt the mexican style of boxing but added the technical style in the process

That’s a stance, this one explains the types of boxers fighting styles of how they wanna get into the fight.

@@Regular338Lapua Southpaw is also a style mate Obviously it’s a stance but they box differently

Brawler is like sluggee

Pressure fighter

Marvin hagler for example is someone who does a lot of pressure but I woulnd't call him a swarmer

@@SuperAFG47 Can you do a more in depth explanation here between them? Because I’ve always known swarmers and sluggers are seperate but I though both would be considered pressure fighters due to their aggression and constant movement forward

The difference between Swarmers and Pressure fighter. Pressure fighters aren't supposed to be short, they can be any height and reach. Their targets is to pressureise you and corner you. And attack you with hooks and uppercuts. They also uses jab in low quantity for inserting dominance. They need stamina because they don't backup they always will hit you and would throw more punches on score card so they can win even in decision vice. Swarmers are similar, they also need high stamina. But they are supposed to be short. Their main target is to get inside you. The don't use the same extreme pressure that Pressure fighters use. They also posses extreme head moments so they can escape jabs from taller fighters. Soon as they get inside the fighter they throw uppercut and hooks tremendously and knock you out. An example for Pressure fighter is Manny Pacquiao and Julio Chavez An example for Swarmer is not Mike Tyson, he's a Counter puncher. It's Joe Frazier and Rocky Marciano.
