What's some fights that demonstrate different styles against each other?

Like for example Byrd vs Tua. Idk what style Byrd is but Tua was like a brawler right?

What's some other joints where the tactician beats the power aggressive guy?
The classic ones are the 70's HWs.

Frazier (swarmer) vs Ali (boxer)
Foreman (slugger) vs Frazier
Ali vs Foreman

these are good to bring the point home but there are also many sub-styles and stuff, boxer-puncher isn't even included in this but boxer-puncher is a more varied style anyway, you can't really say "x style beats boxer-puncher and boxer-puncher beats y style", basically anyone who's boxing too much to be called a slugger or toughing it out too much to be called a classic boxer. But there are many versions of them too. Some of them more like counter punchers who like to exchange (JMM), some of them murderous punchers who rather keep the fight at a distance (Kovalev) end etc.

:snooze: who canelo gonna fight. He not going to fight mal, so him being a free agent means nothing.

Why wouldn't he? His own trainer said it's a fight they are eyeing with.
The only active person with a more stacked resume in boxing than Canelo is Pacquiao, don't know why Canelo still has to prove to some of you that he isn't ducking good fights, if this is about that... :ld:

They don't match Canelo up with good black fighters for a reason...Jermall would beat him imo but it's a 50/50 fight
Which black fighter they haven't matched him up with but they should have? This just sounds as plain BS to me.

When he was at 154 he fought Trout, Lara, Floyd, and recently fought Jacobs too. Now you can have your opinion on whether he beat Lara and stuff like that but fact is he sought out some of these fights even when his team was against them. He was about to fight the Punisher too but then the Punisher's accident came :francis:

He hasn't fought Andrade and Jermall (so far) but that's about it and he still has time to fight either one.
Instead he fought GGG X2, Jacobs, Fielding and Kovalev which is actually very good besides Fielding that was more of a filler fight.

So DAZN had all them dudes at 160(168) for 2 years and the only fight we got out of it was Jacobs vs Canelo and the fight was a light spar. So much for "Jermall Charlo needs to sign to DAZN".

i been saying this for quite awhile Now N nikkas Here still say Charlo need to go to Dazn :mjlol:

If we're being honest, Hearn's track record is looking a lil shaky.

No Wilder Joshua
Couldn't get Campbell or Lomachenko for Haney
Couldn't get BJS, Smith, GGG the Canelo fight
No big fight for Andrade
No Tank fight for Farmer
