HELLRAZAH 11-07-2007, 01:31 AM What are the boxers you study and try and learn off??
i guess it depends on your style but a good all rounder would be good to learn off i think
Juan Manuel Marquez. Textbook fighter

Da Truth 35 11-07-2007, 02:16 AM Winky Wright
lyrical 11-07-2007, 03:28 AM Naseem Hamed, De marcus Corely, Anthony Small,
LOL JOKE.
I would say
early Tyson, Floyd Mayweather, Juan Diaz, Winky Wright
eazy_mas 11-07-2007, 11:47 AM I would say see a particular fight it by time when you listen to commetators and watch abit of boxing and sometimes you learn from yourself couple of things.
but my advice hear the guest commetator usally puts some good points on how the fight is going to be won or what is the are the fighters doing in the ring and learn from there action

My first trainer says that, as well as my current trainer, as well as about probly 4 out of 5 at the gym i'm at.
-Antonio- 11-07-2007, 02:05 PM Marquez is one of the first guys to come to my mind as well. Ricardo Lopez might be an even better choice. Arguello is another good one.
ExecutiveOutlaw 11-07-2007, 08:37 PM once i start sparing i will try to emulate winky
Tuggers1986 11-07-2007, 08:38 PM Shane Mosley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MoneyINC 11-07-2007, 08:45 PM Id have to say James Toney just watch one of his fights and you'll learn to counter.. if your not a great defender youll learn little things like how to incorparate the shoulder roll into your movement etc.... ima have to check JMM out thought never seen one of his fights!
Down4TheCount 11-07-2007, 09:40 PM if you get people watching james toney your gonna get some people mangled in the ring . theres not to man people who can use the philly shell effectively and thats james toney's game . to emulate james toney you have to have some serious skill and speed.
JC Warrior 11-07-2007, 10:55 PM For the basics JM Marquez, Ricardo Lopez, pre-90's Mike Tyson, and Meldrick Taylor. Unless you have extraordinary physical gifts stay away from the Roy Jones type fighters. And trying to learn the fundamentals of James Toney would be tough unless you're extremely young and have nothing but time to devote to it.
ForemanCrossArm 11-08-2007, 02:11 AM ODLH, especially under FMS.
SRL could command the ring like few others.
Hearns, learn how to set up the right/left cross (novice fighter's bread & butter)
Moorer, a decent tech. southpaw heavyweight to look at. Especially when he was fighting under Atlas.
Sttuddahboy619 11-08-2007, 02:17 AM Juan Manuel Marquez!
Brockton Lip 11-08-2007, 10:01 AM Joe Louis. I can't believe nobody said him.
Golden-Gloves 11-08-2007, 02:26 PM Winkys defense, Whitakers head movement / footwork, Roy Jones' offense

you cant watch james toney and learn to shoulder roll punches. u need a trainer to teach u the philly shell / shoulder roll day in and day out and u have to be naturally gifted with speed and reflexes. u cant really watch any fighter and learn to do what he does. theres too many subtle movements and things the fighter is doing which you dont even see unless ur in the ring urself. ur trainer is the one who is the best to learn from, if he is a good trainer that is...
me2007 11-09-2007, 06:07 AM exactly, mimicking someone style doesn`t give you the same results.
kamicazze 11-09-2007, 09:35 PM Try Mikkel Kessler If Ure Stating Out! Others Similar To Him Are, Grady Brewer In The Contender Tournement!
Thoth 11-10-2007, 10:46 AM I'm pretty sure the whole point is to develop your own style.
That said, i'd go with Rocky Balboa.
