How easy is it to copy floyd style?

[viperz007]

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

dude has been undefeated with that style lol 30 wins
floyd has 43 wins

but im not sure with broner cherry picking malignaggi though since floyd never tried the style againts a fighter of malignaggis style

if broner pulled it out good id rank his version of style little higher than the original lol

Broner is far from cloning Floyd's style, and I doubt he ever will.

He can't even do a pullcounter and gets hit in the body while using the shell.

[_original_]

Well what exactly is Floyd's style? He's not doing anything that has never been done by fighters in the past.


Some people really need to learn about boxing's history, most on here still think that the "Philly shell", shoulder roll, and pull-counter were invented by Floyd.

Ríos got it down to the teeth if you saw his imitation video.

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.

so ur saying the difference is
broner = offensive style
floyd = defensive

imagine if the offensive version of broners style gets improved in the future i think it will stomp on floyds defensive style

when floyd tried to use his style offensively he got his face messed up by cotto

lets just say floyd still not as good as using it offensively

Not sure if serious....

Watch Berto against Guerrero or Cotto when he tries to use it if you want to see what happens to an average defensive guy trying to use the philly shell. A couple posters said it above also but my old trainer would dish out a hell of a lot of push ups if he saw one of his guys doing it in the ring.

You need to have very good reactions and concentration to pull it off effectively. Just standing the way Floyd does is going to get you hit a lot

Disagree. Floyd uses the style now. Hence, Floyd's style.

People don't need to know the history of the style, to discuss that Floyd uses it as his style.

name me one boxer by the time floyd fought them has the style like malignaggi?

Dude, you compared the number of wins.

Then you said that if Broner beats Malignaggi, you would declare he uses the style better.

There's so much fail, that I can't even have this conversation.
