i used to be a ruff slugger/brawler with peekaboo guard in the amateurs until i lost sight in one eye,so i dont even get involved in the ring now! p.s good post
I am a brawler I am stocky with short arms so struggle to fight at distance like to be in close for the rough stuff use a high guard and like to throw hooks and uppercuts to the body and head. With my build there was not much choice in style really as I am naturally heavy
I kind of vary my style but when i was younger i fought like Josh Clottey but i would use more head movement. Now i use more Cotto type stance and i still love to go to body and head. I hated amateur boxing as i felt i fought more like a pro wanting to KO opponents.
wow i never knew the brit forum was so stacked with quality fighters, maybe we should organise our own little tourney like showtime
:rofl i agree it be one for the ages. Reading back my post i sound like one of them guys you get who says ''i could of been a champion''. I'm a decent boxer but i aint got anything on Clottey or Cotto but i can always dream
i fight like froch and haye with that low left, bad i know but it works for me as i have extremely long arms. if i were to choose a style i would like to be like it would be arthur abrahams, basic but effective and it gets the job done, unfortunatly i dont have powerful enough arms and i dont like getting hit 4 times just to land 1.
Between everyones fistic abilities and the number of genius level IQ's that got claimed in that thread a while back we really are quite an impressive bunch....
