Out of all the styles possible, this is really difficult to teach. Just think of all the attributes you need to be a good counter puncher like Zudah, Mayweather etc; Natural Athleticism, Reflexes, Hand speed. The one thing they all have in common is that they are there or they ain't. Do you reckon you have all these?

Well it's either you got it or you don't.

But watch a lot of JMM, B-Hop, Etc.

To be a counter puncher you gotta patient and be a thinking fighter. If you want to get better practice in sparring. Some fighters will keep letting you counter them and repeat the same habit of whatever they do to allow you to counter. Some fighters will adjust and take that counter away from you. You gotta be a thinker at all times. Watch some videos and practice when you spar. I've learn how to counter a little bit. Then the person took that away so I went somewhere else with it. This is what I love about boxing, it isn't just letting it all go and street fighting trying to knock them out. It's strategic.

To be a good counter puncher, you need either great speed, great timing, or both.

A guy like Floyd is a counterpuncher more on the speedy side.

A guy like Marquez is more on the timing side.

What you also need is a cool head, patience, and a good boxing brain.

I used to counter from behind a tight guard almost exclusively, I wouldn't recommend it though. It works well until you start fighting really good slick boxers, then you get picked apart. Now I fight with a bit more offence mixed in, more forehand to set up attacks, but I still counter from behind the guard sometimes. I use more slips and parrys now too.
