If you had a son and he wanted to box what style would you prefer he use?

[Biolink]

When I have him Eric Williams III will be a slick American "Runner"(As some people like to call it).

I'll be damn if I have my son swinging wildy going toe to toe.

Hed be a pure boxer. Hit and not get hit.

man I know you got this Idea from me, it's all good, b/c its the truth.

[Devils Advocate]

They only get mad cause they ain't got no rhythm.

Great minds think alike.

It's not about forcing, it's about teaching him the proper definition of boxing. Hit without getting hit. There's no such thing as forcing in boxing. It all depends on the teacher if the teacher taught the kid the right way and the effort that was put into making the kid learn the true way of boxing not teaching him how to fight.

You teach fundamentals, you cannot teach a kid to fight like Mayweather...lol

I mean if there's a kid that is short, stocky with no speed, guess what, he's not going to be a slick fighter.

You have to have the tools first in order to teach what is best for him.

If you have a strong puncher with a straight style, then that's what you are going to get.

What I'm saying is, you need to take the strengths of a young boxer and make those better, not form him into what YOU want him to be because he may not have the skills to pull that off.

If I wre to pattern his style after a fighter it would be Floyd. But I would have depend more on jabbing and leading in a conventional manner rather then lead rights.

whichever pays the bills on time.

Lmao oh so you were the one who added me on FB. I was like I wonder who this is. He got Webb and Horus so he must be from BS.

I think you are referring to just picking up some 13 year old at a gym. Im talking about your own son. If e was interested in boxing what fighter would you have him watch?

[Junito-Rulez]

Yeah I know. Wish I was having a son but its a girl and I damn sure dont want my princess boxing.

She can still be a ballerina dancer or even better a figure skater.


If i had a son i would want him to fight like Arturo Gatti or Margarito: throw punches, be a walking punching bag til you opponent gets tired in the process and then beat the **** out of him.

Seriously, i already prefer appreciate boxers like Floyd or Malignaggi but i think i would teach him how to be an agressive boxer, for example not fight like Dirrell. To be a pure boxer and backing up the whole fight, gives a sense of confidence to the opponent and a better chance to get robbed by judges who don't know **** about boxing. In my last fight i understood it, threw a thousand punches until i got DQ'd for hitting behind the head.
I was throwing more but to be honest we landed the same amount of punches. I learnt later that i was WAY ahead in the judges scorecard.
Amateur boxing= throw as much as you can, and find a way to keep it technical like Paul Williams or a Juan DIaz would.

The best thing is to be skilled enough to not get hit, but offensive minded to score. A prime Toney is a good example of what i'd like to do with my son.
A great jab+ head movements+ feints+ off/def footwork= the most important things in boxing.
