This page is ridiculous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.32.31.245 (talk) 00:35, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

I agree with the past two comments. This is not an encyclopedia entry. I recently began boxing and came here to learn more, but the sentences read more like a magazine. I do not know enough to correct it. Example: If the out-boxer represents everything classy about boxing, the slugger (also brawler) often stands for everything that's brutal in the sport. This is not proper diction. -S — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.18.191.138 (talk) 02:16, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Movie examples

Would it be worth including as an example of rock paper scissors, fictional movie fights like Rocky Balboa vs Apollo Creed? Creed was almost certainly representative of an out-boxer style of fighting and Balboa (at first) was a slugger. It can also be noted that Balboa's style evolved throughout the series.

One shortcoming I suppose, is that Creed vs. Balboa II resulted in a slugger beating an out-boxer, although by that time both were more hybrid than the first movie. DaltonCastle (talk) 02:22, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Holyfield as a boxer-puncher, not a slugger.

Holyfield seems like the archetypal boxer-puncher. 81.166.178.85 (talk) 00:19, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
