Who has the BEST conventional boxing!!!

[Daniel_T5]

Paulie is a no no.

He throws up jabs, flicks his jab, and lets his lead hand wrist on his hip the majority of the time.

yeah buut he has good footwork i think he can try to learn some things about those boxers...he doesnt have to imitate them completely

early fights of floyd are acctually good to study, he fought way more conventional there. i would highly reccomend watching his amateur fights, he fights more conventional and also has a style fitted for the amateur ranks.

ike quartey would be good, de la hoya too. chad dawson hasnt been mentioned as a lefty. donald curry, marlon starling, davey moore etc

Paulie crosses his feet virtually all fight long. This isn't good footwork.

I think he wants to study people who do things by the book, as originally taught in the gym.

Paulie and many others have poor boxing fundementals, but they get the job done.

I'd go winky before Quartey and Clottey because winky would slip and swat punches as well. Ike and Clottey would on occasion just absorb. a bad habbit to pick up imo.

Sturm, Dzi, and Winky are probably the better conventional stances to watch.

As far as genuine orthodox, authentic boxing style is concerned. I have always been most impressed by Wladimir Klitschko, Ricardo Lopez, and Emmanuel Augustus (minus his "drunk-fun" footwork), especially off the ropes.

Any of Klitschko's moves is a picture-perfect boxing lesson, punching, footwork, positioning, defence etc. Lopez , much the same in lesser quantity, and Augustus for head and body movement.

When you have mastered the above attribbutes, you can then allow some of your natural unique idiosyncracies to filter in, but always ready to eliminate them if not successful. This way you'll be able to adapt to different styles in opponents.

And, above all, FITNESS and TRAINING.

Hattons footwork, Hopkins guard, Wlad's jab, Pacquiaos speed, Paulies chin and Floyds reflexes and your good to go
