While all boxers use different moves, punches and mixtures, there's a precise way in which they fight. This is called their style. There are different kinds of boxing styles. Each varies widely but not totally as one style may seem like a few elements of another style. There are 3 main types or at a minimum, three typically known types of boxing styles, "the boxer", "the slugger", and "the interior fighter. "
The boxer. This is the technical kind of boxing or commonly referred to as the "textbook fighter. " The boxer is a master of both offense and defense. He fights often from the outside, come in to make few hits, and the back off again. The boxer might not be the most entertaining to look at if you are looking for some great action but he has got excellent technical capabilities that beginners can learn from.
He will be able to fight well against sluggers because he is faster and more flexible within the ring. Winky Wright, Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, Floyd Mayweather Jr, Lennox Lewis, Roy Jones Jr, Felix Trinidad and Benny Leonard are some of the most well liked fighters who've got this style.
The slugger. This fighter may not possess the technical abilities of "the boxer " but power and aggressiveness are his main weapons. A slugger is the most fun and most exciting fighter to look at. A. K. A the soldier, he lacks finesse in the ring, but he makes up for it by his unexpectedness and dynamic punches which regularly result to knockouts. This is the reason why Manny Pacquiao is the hottest and well appreciated fighter today. Other well known sluggers are Arturo Gatti, George Foreman, Sonny Liston, and Naseem Hamed.
The interior fighter. This fighter is not as technical as "the boxer " but he's as exciting to look on as the slugger. The inside fighter spends almost all of his time in the ring closing within his adversary and throwing heavy blows of uppercuts and hooks.
He may take some shots on his way in but an insider fighter regularly has a powerful jaw that may resist any likely damages. Some of the hottest inside wrestlers are Joe Frazer, Ricky Hatton, Mike Tyson, Julio Margarito Marco Antonio Barrera, and Julio Cesar Chaves.
There are two other boxing styles that are worth mentioning: half-breed fighter and the crowder.
Boxers may fall into more than one kind of style. This is named the half-breed fighter. There are very good boxers that are considered sluggers but their agility and capability to move round the ring makes in out-fighters. Mike Tyson who is sometimes known as a soldier is a very intense within fighter.
The crowder didn't get his name from his capability to delight the crowd but his ability to put pressure to his adversary inside the ring. Sometimes called the swarmer, this kind of pro boxers put constant pressure to their contestant through unstoppable aggression and attacks. Crowders are a rare type as there are only few fighters who have got great staying power and can continuously attack his competitor throughout the game.
A fighter won't be a crowder throughout in his fight. For example, Manny Pacquiao is considered a slugger but become a crowder in his first fight against Marco Antonio Barrera. Some preferred crowders are Ricky Hatton, Joe Frazer, and Henry Armstrong.
