The combination of footwork and head movement in this video makes my head hurt.

How can anyone replicate this style?

IMO, the most complex style goes to Emmanuel Augustus.
The master of the drunken boxing style.

So... the hardest style would be the most unnatural style. What else makes a style hard to learn? Footwork. Footwork is not really natural. It takes training to coordinate foot and hand.

learning to throw a punch is easy, learning footwork is difficult. Boxing is footwork. When we punch as nature intended we hit down, and run towards that which we seek to hit. But nature also protects the body from these downward hits.

A trained fighter has to hit straight and up into vital areas. hence the need to step into position.

Beyond that its hard to distinguish more and less difficult stepping methods in prize fighting. At least to me it is.

Ray Robinson
Roberto Duran
George Benton
Mike mccallum

Guys like these.

Robinson fought a lot more than the others so he picked up **** on his own too, **** lost in history. But he was fighting on a very complex level. Different set ups, short hooks, wide hooks, eye feints, rolling, slipping, ducking, pauses, speed Changes. Double taps, staying in either too close or staying out of range, never in the line of fire

Your best question ever, kid, your finest hour.

One has to love the complexity of Marciano and his incredible ring generalship, which prevailed every time out against opponents as complex as Charles and Walcott.

As suggested by Apples, lopsided defensive specialists are not as complex. Mayweather & Locche are not as complex as Robinson, for he was complex to be deadly and they were complex mainly to stay safe and tap away rounds.

A lot of people won't admit it but Floyd Mayweather jr. He would give his opponents different looks throughout the fight which made him very difficult to figure out.

- -Cowering on the ropes with back turned ain't hard to figure.

Running from Tyny Jesus Chavez ain't hard to figure. Getting beat up by Castillo and Maidana ain't hard to figure.

Squallin' fer his Daddy ain't hard to figure.
