the reason i posted this is that any time i'm in a boxing discussion with my friends or someone else who is a boxing fan they will always class someone like a barrera or a mayweather as a "boxer" and its just not as easy as that look at the 2 mentioned they have completely different styles. Who would you class as a boxer because being honest sometimes im not sure. thanks for your replies

i watched that guy for "fucking years" excuse the ricky hatton language and could not come up with something to some up naz more simply.
