There are three generally accepted boxing styles that are used to define fighters. They are the in-fighter, the out-fighter and the brawler.

1. Inside Fighter

In-fighters are often considered the most exciting boxers to watch. This style favours closing inside an opponent, overwhelming them with intensity and flurries of hooks and uppercuts. They tend to be agile on their feet which can make them difficult to evade for a slower fighter. They also tend to have a good "chin" because this usually involves being hit with many jabs before they can maneuver inside where they are more effective.

2. Outside fighter

Out-fighters (also known as an "out-boxer" or "boxer") are the opposite of the in-fighter. Where the in-fighter tries to close the gap between himself and his opponent, the out-fighter seeks to maintain that gap and fight with faster, longer range punches. Since they rely on the weaker jabs and straights (as opposed to hooks and uppercuts), they tend to win by points decisions rather than by knockout, although some out-fighters (such as Lennox Lewis and Felix Trinidad) have notable knockout records. They attempt to control the fight by using their jab to keep their opponent at range, and using their strong footwork to evade any opponent that closes in. In fact, outside fighters are known for being extremely quick on their feet, which often makes up for their relative lack of power. Out-fighters are often regarded as the best boxers on account of their desire to win a fight by wearing an opponent down and outclassing an opponent by strategy, rather than simply knocking him out.

3. Brawler

If the out-fighter represents everything classy about boxing, the brawler (also known as the 'slugger', 'hard hitter' or 'one puncher') often stands for everything that's brutal and dirty in the sport. Sluggers tend to lack finesse in the ring, but make up for it in raw power, often able to knock almost any opponent out with a single punch. This ability makes them exciting to watch, and their fights unpredictable. Many brawlers tend to lack mobility in the ring and have difficulty pursuing fighters who are fast on their feet. They prefer the harder, slower punches (such as hooks and uppercuts) and tend to ignore combination punching. Their slowness and predictable punching patterns (single punches with obvious leads) often leaves them open for counterpunching.

Arum attended Erasmus Hall High School, New York University and Harvard Law School. He worked as an attorney in the United States Department of Justice and had little interest in boxing until 1965.[1] He used his education and business savvy to become a boxing promoter, and during the 1980s became a driving force behind the sport, rivaling Don King. Arum put together superfights like Marvin Hagler vs. Roberto Durán and Hagler vs. Thomas Hearns.

A particularly touching moment happened when Arum mounted the Hagler-John Mugabi, Hearns-James Shuler double header in Las Vegas on April, 1986.

Duel Pacquiao Versus Hatton

“I have to admit I don’t like Hatton’s chances,” Frank Warren, widely considered as the top promoter in Britain, said in an article posted on boxingscene.com.

Hatton was under Warren’s wing for several years, before the two had a falling-out in 2005.

Warren believes the light-welterweight fight will work for Pacquiao more than Hatton, the reigning IBO champion in the 140-lb division.

“Boxing at light-welterweight will suit him (Hatton) but it will favor Pacquiao more because he’ll be that bit quicker than he was against Oscar De La Hoya at welterweight and even stronger,” Warren said.

Pacquiao’s trainer, Freddie Roach, had predicted a “late knockout victory” for the Gen. Santos City southpaw in the mega-buck showdown scheduled May 2 in Las Vegas.

Pacquiao has also been installed by Las Vegas pundits as a 2-1 favorite to beat Hatton, who is coming off an 11th-round demolition of American Paul Maglinaggi last November.

Hatton’s trainer, Floyd Mayweather Sr., had earlier belittled Pacquiao’s chances against Hatton.

Mexican Erik Morales, who lost twice by knockout to Pacquiao in their fight trilogy, has also picked Hatton to prevail.

Pacquiao and Hatton will split the expected $58.2 million fight purse with Top Rank promoter Bob Arum pointing out that Hatton’s fan following in Britain will contribute handsomely to revenues from the showdown.

“We might do a million homes on pay-per-view in England,” Arum said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times recently.

“You have to give Hatton some credit for what he brings to the table.”

Chris John will make it to the United States

The desire to see a lot of people pride boxer Indonesia, Chris John, fight in the United States will be realized. What can you can, 'the Dragon'?

Chris John fight will be in the United States, precisely in the city of Houston, to face Rocky Juarez on 28 February 2009. The seizure of the world champion title WBA featherweight will be held at the same time struggling with the title of the world-class lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez of contra Juan Diaz.

The debut Chris John in the United States is long-awaited public. Advised, although already maintain his title 10 times and make himself as a 'Super Champ', Chris do so six times in Indonesia, three in Japan and one in Australia.

Consequently, reputation, Chris has not been known to the world. Although there are claims that the man born 29 years ago is the best boxer in the featherweight class, still only echo Chris new name in Asia.

But the opportunity finally came, too. Although not fight in the big city like as Las Vegas or New York, the only fight against Juarez later is valuable opportunities for the former wushu athlete.

Chris has a chance to open the public eye boxing world, especially America, that there is a great boxer Manny Pacquiao than Asia.

"This is a big fight for Chris John, and a great place for him. All people accuse him compete only in Indonesia. But now he comes to the lion enclosure to maintain the habitat gelarnya Rocky," said Golden Boy Promotion CEO Richard Schaefer who be a promotor in that fighting.

Chris John must prove that he is not the only blade enclosure. Fight well and win against Juarez be mandatory so that people not only remember the victory against Marquez in Tenggarong in the year 2006 set.

Juarez (28-4, 20 KO) is not the opponent for Chris mild, although must also be recognized not too great. Juarez age 28 years and body size nearly equivalent to Chris. However, the public support will inspire the spirit of the original Juarez 'children Houston.

Muhammad Ali Boxing Underwater

Pacquio's skill compare with Ali

There is no doubt that Manny Pacquiao is today the best boxer in the world. His victories speak for themselves. No need to rave about them. But there is still room for improvement, though not necessarily in his already near-perfect boxing skills.

Here’s my unsolicited advice to “Pacman”: If you want to be “The Greatest,” do what “The Greatest” did.

• In Muhammad Ali’s time, the United States was committing horrible atrocities against the Vietnamese people.

In Pacquiao’s time, the illegitimate administration of Gloria Macapagal-arroyo is committing equally horrible atrocities against the Filipino people.

• In Ali’s time, the United States, through its Armed Forces, tried to use him for propaganda in the Vietnam War.

In Pacquiao’s time, this illegitimate administration, directly through its “president,” is using him as a prop to help lift Arroyo’s sagging popularity and, most likely, will use him to gain public support for its Charter change campaign.

• Ali, during his time, rejected being drafted into the US armed forces and protested the Vietnam War, which killed scores of innocent people.

Pacquiao, in his time, seems to be clueless about what is happening around our country: the numerous corruption scandals hounding this administration; the genocide (the word “murder” doesn’t quite capture it) of several journalists and of countless more political activists; and the shameless drive of changing our Constitution to keep public thugs in power.

• Ali didn’t become “The Greatest” because he won boxing titles and “[floated] like a butterfly, [stung] like a bee.” He became one because he stood for what he believed in and even paid the price for it. (He was stripped of his title.)

Pacquiao can become better than “The Greatest” not because of his boxing prowess or a stint in politics. He can “beat” Ali by standing up against the traditional politicos, or “trapos,” who swarm like flies around him, and by opposing Charter change and other crimes against his countrymen. Only then would he truly deserve the title “People’s Champ.”

But then again, maybe this could all be a Christmas wish.
