How easy is it to copy floyd style?

[viperz007]

as u can see we have another floyd copy in broner

im thinking there will be more in the coming future

what do u think if more boxer does copy the style
will it do good in boxing?

with more people copying the style it does make floyd look normal
not one of a kind

Being able to copy it, and being able to copy it and have the effectiveness of Floyd are two entirely different things.

Well now that so many people worship him and copy everything he does it must not be too hard.
Just to use it effectively seems to be lol

It seems that Broner has done a great job in copying Floyd's style. Its evident in his cherrypick of Malignaggi. Bravo, boxings future seems to be dim

we have broner effectively cloned the style though

I can copy it, and so can all the posters above. But as soon as you get in the ring, trying to copy Floyd, you'll be in a world of trouble.

Floyd should have a "Don't try this at home" saying on his trunks. Seriously, don't try it, and any serious trainer at a gym would yell at you not try that. My friend tried it in his gym while sparring, and his trainer told him "Stop with that Floyd sh-t!". Lol.

Seriously? I think we're a LONG way from being able to declare that.

Nope, false, Broner just uses it use it. His Style is more offense oriented, way more offensively oriented, and he actually got hit quite a lot by DeMarco [in the early rounds] and Rees.

He did not effectively cloned the style, and I think Malignaggi, even in losing, will further expose how badly Broner does it. Floyd uses his style in a defensive manner, to block punches and set up uppercuts and lefthooks while moving back. Broner uses it coming forward, which is ******ed and it's why gets caught with silly punches so much.

Broner is good, i'm definitely a fan of his style. But he does not pull off the shoulder roll too successfully.

Damn, wait a minute.

Are you telling me the only thing I have to do as a trainer is just copy Floyd's style and BOOM, instant champions?

WTF have I been doing all these years? You hear that people?! Just copy Floyd's style and you will be successful!!

Why didn't I think of that? Let me guess, you can punch like Mike Tyson if you just watch film of him too.....

Man, this boxing thing is easy.

[casual hero]

Copy his style......... easy.........imitate the way he stands and blocks shot.........easy.

Its doing it successfully without taking any damage thats the difficult part. Floyd has taken this style of fighting and gotten so good at it that people think he invented it

Dont get mixed up though floyd did not invent this style of fighting he is just famous for it.

James Toney was very slick with his shoulder roll and fought in a very similar fasion to what Floyd does........Toney was a bit more exciting though.
