Joe Frazier wins in TKO

I'm trying to think of famous fights:

Boxer vs Boxer

Swarmer V Swarmer

Slugger V Slugger

Usually a very entertaining fight.

Next weekend's matchup of Diaz-Katsidis is such a matchup.

I was thinking of that fight, too.

Two Swarmers fighting?

Usually, between two average swarmers, one will be stronger than the other and usually overpower him.... However the "swarming" style isn't used anymore due to the fact that it is not succesful.

To be a successful swarmer you have to be as tough-as-nails, strong, a hard-hitter and have a good chin... These atrributes can't be said about most average boxers.

HOWEVER, if two great swarmer were to fight each other (not that it ever happens these days) the result would be a WAR!
A Blood spurting, teeth cracking, sweat busting encounter.... With knockdowns, heavy breathing and punches being landed left, right and centre.

I would dearly have loed to have seen a Frazier/Marciano/Dempsey fight happen....

Close-fighting as its destructive best!!!!

Do you not think Ricky Hatton uses the style?

It's over pretty quick unless both have Iron Jaws. However I would assume that to be established as a swarmer you probably have to have that in in your inventory to begin with.

...Essentially all of them apply pressure effectively and utilize whatever power and stamina they have to overwhelm opponents either early or late, depending on the opponent of course.
