    Easiest ATG to Emulate

    There was a thread earlier about which boxer resembles your fighting style closest. This got me to thinking: which ATG boxer has the easiest style to emulate? For example, emulating Roy Jones/Pernell Whitaker is not easy because you need amazing reflexes/natural athleticism.

    Ironically the names one might think of immediately, those possessing highly orthodox/non-explosive styles, may be the most difficult of all to emulate as what made them great is so difficult to qualify. Monzon, an incredibly "normal" fighter stylistically, is perhaps the most mysterious fighter to me in the history of boxing because it's almost impossible to identify exactly what element or combination of elements he possessed which led to his success.
