If you were a boxing trainer...

[Super_Lightweight]

1) What fighter would you model to your boxers as a good style to emulate? Why?

2) What key points of that style or points in general would you emphasize?

[Ironside]

It really depends on the boxer, but for the most part I'd want my fighter to pump up the jab most of the match and if they try to go on the inside, throw a quick uppercut or go and hug.

I'm trying to emulate Floyds style atm but it's hard because my reach isn't that great.

[BmoreBrawler]

depends completely on the fighter.

[jack_the_rippuh]

I'd turn my fighter into Naseem Hamed.
With awkward punching angles.

Bernard Hopkins. try to get hit as little as possible, conserve your energy. Move around and look for counter opportunities.

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

As a trainer, you don't model your fighter into something they cannot be. It would be like a football coach forcing a system on to a team even though he may not have the talent for it.

You find out what qualities your fighter may have and emphasize the good ones and try and correct the bad one's.

No trainer takes a kid and says "I'm going to make him like Dran or Sugar Ray or Tyson", it just doesn't work that way. If your fighter throws hard punches and can take a good shot but may not be the fastest guy, you tach him good defense and fundamentals and stress inside fighting. If your fighter shows uncanny natural ability and speed, you tech him movement and outside fighting with the emphasis on hitting and moving.

You find the best in a fighter and teach him to perfect that.

[NeXt In Line]

I'd say either Hopkins, Calzaghe, or Roy Jones. Hopkins for his cautiousness and perfect execution of timed punches, Calzaghe for his hand speed and physique at 168 (instead of being muscular like Lacy he's much faster and able to maneuver beter) and Jones because of his ability to put combinations together, and overall boxing abilities.

[squealpiggy]

It depends on the fighter entirely. But you can't go wrong emphasising a strong jab and decent footwork.

if i had a boxer i would want one that was like no other.....why would i want a copy of another fighter....



as far as focus it would be alot of defense......floyd mayweather proves time and time again that defense wins fights...
