How easy is it to copy floyd style?

[viperz007]

Well for one, Broner is more offensive, so he gets hit more.

But, it also has to do with IQ levels, Floyd is much better at anticipating opponents movements which enables him to capitalize more efficiently both offensively and defensively than Broner.

When Broner DOES emulate the shoulder roll defensive, he's generally not as tight, nor as quick with it as Floyd is, his timing also isn't as good.

But he does it good enough, against his current opposition to keep him safe.

right
but then considering a lower IQ like broner was able to imitate not perfectly for sure but almost to the extent to keep him undefeated for now makes my comment above kind of right of what level of difficulty copying floyd's style is
im not saying its easy
but then im calling it not that difficult i guess...

i do want to see how the floyd style in broner match with malignaggis style coz floyd seems to fail showing us that due to his so many inactivity

Well what exactly is Floyd's style? He seems pretty versatile to me that it would be impossible to really describe a defining style for him. I've seen Floyd use a number of styles throughout his career, watch him against Gatti, Mosley, Corrales, and Baldimor.

And why must a fighter using, let's say a shoulder roll position to maneuver his defense, be directly linked to Floyd and not others fighters in the past as well?

People relate it to what they know. If a newer boxing fan sees Floyd using the style, they will relate it to him. I don't believe that they need to know the origin of the style.

I just don't think every boxing fan, needs to be a historian.

Nah, I can't compare.

Broner will be 24 in a few months... around 24-25 Floyd was fighting Corrales and Castillo.

I think Broner loses to Castillo, And I don't see him being able to beat Castillo as clearly as Floyd did in II.

Also, I would definitely attribute Broners style to more of a James Toney style the way he moves around the ring, but he uses Floyds little quick twitch movements.

Michael Jackson did not invent the "Moon Walk", nor was he the first person to ever do it. There's footage of people doing it years before him. That bieng said you think "Moon Walk" you think Michael Jackson.

each boxer has their own signature move
dont try to act like u dont know whats floyds signature move

we know he copied it from the past
but then he improved it and perfected it and called it his own style
which all of us can say that is his own style not from the past

just like making a song
u pick some ideas around the world and improve it and call it ur own

we are talking about floyds signature move here.. which his shoulder roll or elbow rowl whatever u call it

Not to me it isn't.

His signature move to me is his pullback counter over the top with the right hand.

It's beautiful and nobody does it as perfectly as him... something you really can't just "copy" it requires tons of experience, timing, anticipation , reflexes and accuracy.

His defense is something he's known for but I wouldn't call it his signature move.

Easy to copy. it is just not honorable to fight that way. it is a cowardly style.

I get what your saying. If I had to choose I would go with PAC style. Double jab straight left. If you miss or get countered, **** your gloves together and repeat. You are bound to land one of them at some point.

Trying to use Mayweather's style of defense and being able to effectively use it like Mayweather does are two entirely different things.

You see a lot of people trying to implement that style. People who work in gyms will know exactly what I'm talking about.

There's a reason everyone isn't using that style and doing what Mayweather did.

Ian Napa and Eric Ochieng have a similar style, how effective were/are they?

aight u have ur own oppinion about it
but to ask out of 100 boxing fans whats floyds style about 99% of them will show u that shoulder roll move

there is no way that broner will become floyd 100%
but we do see that he is trying to imitate floyd and has been successful at doin so for now

he might not be as bright as floyd but thats the thing there, a not that bright person was able to imitate floyd style,
base on that im just thinking in the future that there will be more floyd clones with better IQ or not
