Styles: Who Do You Most Try To Imitate?

Fighting styles I prefer:

Mohammad Ali - Complete fighter

Riddick Bowe - Uppercut

For me, I have always tried to master Ali's ring style and technique, especially the jab, head movement and footwork.
Ali had a wide arsenal of punches, but I never thought that he threw enough uppercuts for my taste. The uppercut being one of my favorite punches, I started practicing throwing my uppercuts using Bowe's technique of short leveraged punches.:yep

Imitation they say is the strongest form of flattery. Whose ring techniques do you flatter the most?:good

 

I try and imitate Usain Bolt.

I'm a lover not a fighter.

 

Who? :think

 

so you dont throw body shots either

 

I hate Ali's style. All that dancing **** he did just wastes energy. And keeping the hands low looks stupid.

 

I try to imitate Duran and Tyson. Im an inside guy

But whenever i get into full flow, my style changes into my own. Which is surprisingly similar to JMM style (left arm twitch, and combos)

 

I find myself doing a Cotto often, with a jab right hand left hook to the body combo.

 

I get imitated not the other way round

 

Imitating Ali is dumb. He did so many thing wrong, but he could because of he was a special talent. Someone without his natural ability would just get pummeled if they copied his technique.
There's nothing wrong with looking to other fighters for inspiration and knowledge, but keep in mind what they do wrong as well as what they do right.

 

I'm a mix of Tyson, Bradley, Mayweather and Meldrick Taylor

 

An aggressive, come-forward, light hitting, runner, with blinding hand-speed?

 

Audley Harrison.

 

:rofl

 

In my mind I am Sal Sanchez's reincarnation, but in reality I guess I resemble butterbean better

 

good one. I'm more of a boxer puncher who can beat you from the outside, but would rather be up close and uses quick combinations up close
