If you were a boxing trainer...

[Super_Lightweight]

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.

This is misleading. As trainers and fighters, we always look to past fighters to see how they did things and try what works. Some things are modified and look different in execution among, different fighters, but we still look back and try to emulate certain traits. This is a hypothetical thread anyway stop busting my chops.

I think one of the best styles to give to a fighter is Winky Wright's style...train up your fighter for good stamina so he can throw a lot of leather like Winky, keep the punches coming but not super hard so as to conserve energy, but you always keep the pressure on which can be mentally devastating for the opponent. Also gotta love that high guard which can be mimicked...but Winky's style, as simple as it looks, takes someone with decently sized arms as well as mental toughness.

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?

1. Mayweathers style.....he rarely gets hut and is dead accurate.

2. Defense...defense...defense

decent thread but kinda ******...

you take the kids best attributes and make him as complete as you can. Believe it or not, amazing boxers or amazing foootball players, etc etc aren't made just by working hard @ a sport...you need to have good genes period.

Obviously it's assumed you can't make a ****** into a boxing champ. We are just talking Joe-boxer here, and what would you do to make him his best.

Genes are just part of the story.

A basic 1,2, jab right hand fighter. build from there. Depends on alot of things though. Not if the guy is shorter.

You cant model your fighers over anything.

some guys punch different. Some guys fight more square on. Some guys fight pidgeon toed.

It's called adapting.
