Another brit who had a unique awkward style was the ragamuffin man Lloyd Honeyghan, the bermondsey bomber. I agree with the statement earlier in brits have a standup european style, fight straight on and hands held high very much like an amatuer fighter, the best and most succesful brits had a unique awkward style.

This is an intresting thread because one of the coaches at my gym said the guys who are successful in boxing are the ones who do something slightly different from the rest. It could be something in training or in the ring itself. He told me this at an Amateur Event last week and pointed out that all the guys were very orthodox and didn't show anything special with their footwork. So if a guy with an awkward stance and nifty footwork faced any of those guys that night they would'nt of known how to deal with it.

A good lesson for anyone else out aspiring to be a boxer!
