These two different styles of boxing can both yield positive results.
A volume puncher can push forward through a defense and create a TKO victory. Sometimes the best defense is a good offense, if the opponent can not get off of the back foot effectively, fatigue and panic can settle in, causing accumulated damage.
A boxer who pot shot (picks their shots) can wait for the opportunity to strike, and capitalize on an opening. This shot can be hard and fast and a great counter punch to forward momentum. There is usually no wasted energy, and the goal is to be accurate and precise with the ability to cover or move out of range immediately after. A pot shot can be a fight ender as well.
I understand we have fighters who do both. However, let's look at them as separate styles for this thread.
Which style do you prefer to watch or use?
Who is your favorite representative from each style? Examples below:
Amir Khan (volume puncher)
Canelo Alvarez (volume puncher)
Manny Pacquiao (volume puncher)
Floyd Mayweather (pot shot)
Archie Moore (pot shot)
Evander Holyfield (pot shot)
