Which style is easiest to adapt?

['Sugar' Freddi]

Tyson's style is complicated but it best suits me.

To have Tyson's style, you need to have the physical power he had. You have to be physically strong and have a good punch. It's good that it suits you though, good luck. Make sure you move your head like Tyson as well.

Pretty good style and I think easy to adapt too.

IMO Ali, Tyson's, Fraziers are the hardest for anyone to adapt. That's why we see no one that fights like them these days

I think Fraziers would be the hardest to adapt to. It takes incredible will and endurance to fight like Frazier did, to keep pressing forward.

yeah. His defense was incredible for a guy that came forward 100% of the time too. That is hard to adapt

You Training & Nutrition guys should post here more often..
For once, I agree with eveyone!... I'd say Joe Louis's fundumentals are the easiest to adapt, and there are similarities to Robinson.. Although to carry if off you'd need to throw 4 & 5 punch combo's with radar precision & KO power in every shot..

JAB's beaten me to it with regard to the most difficult style.. Frazier's style was his success.. Had it not been for his constant bobbing & weaving, he'd have no doubt been in the second tier with Shavers, Young, Bonavena etc.. In fact, he'd of probably lost to Bonavena..

Don't know whether any of you have studied the style of Chris Byrd?
If you've got sharp reflexes, I think it's fairly easy to adapt.. Kind of upright & off the back foot, with an extended lead & guard, while punching from the elbow.. It frustrates opponents into making mistakes, which is when he'll unload some good combo's..

If you've got a granite chin, Carl Froch should'nt be too hard to copy lol..

This is what I think. If you have a granite chin or not, you should always protect your chin. Maybe you won't fight guys with power in the beginning but later, you fight someone with power and you have a style where your chin is wide open in the air. I think anyone could go down from a good shot. I think a good overhand right can put down one, even if you have a granite chin.

Everyone has differing levels of athletic abilities and types of physical builds so I would guess that the easiest style to adapt differs person to person. But from what I've seen I'd say the high guard that guys like Josh Clottey and Felix Sturm use is pretty simple and effective. I agree with what others have said on here though that Joe Frazier's style is probably the most difficult to emulate.

I used to practice Tyson's style, too, but I didn't find it useful for me. But the good thing about practicing it was that I developed good head movement.

I dont think you should imitate anyone's style, unless you have the physical capabilities to pull it off. When i see people trying to impersonate Tyson, Jones etc style it makes me cringe.
