What basic boxing style do you prefer? Most fighters can and do use a combination of styles, or make adjustments during a given fight, or against a given opponent, but all have their own basic or signature style, and start all fights in this mode.
Slick Boxers (Ali, Leonard) are elusive and measured in their attack. They like to "stick and move" on their toes. "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee."
Power Punchers (Foreman, Tyson) like to plant their feet and put their whole torso into the punch. Almost every punch has a jarring effect, even jabs.
Brawlers (Duran, Pryor) are all over their opponents from the opening bell. They are relentless in their swarming attack and opponents eventually succumb to a cumulative effect of punches.
Boxer-punchers (Louis, Robinson) are adept at cutting off the ring and use their jab to set-up power punches. They use combinations and can KO opponents with a single punch by either hand.
