    I was more than a little doubtful when Baileys_tunes claimed a 130 IQ.

    I'm actually quite adept at avoiding fights, I tend to simply walk away.

    I have not had a proper fight for about 23 years. I won that one by stepping back and catching my opponent with counter punches as he came in swinging wildly, so if I had to pick a style of fighting it would be "defensive counter-puncher".

    I use my jab alot and was a good counter puncher with a decent defence and I always thought I had good footwork but I didnt have the stamina.

    I feel your pain, mate; I was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder last year called factor V leiden (gay name I know) which means I now have to have blood tests all the pissing time to make sure I don't suffer another huge blood clot. To add to that, all combat sports are out of the window now at my current age of 23. It's a *****- I can still train but what's the point if you can't spar:twisted:.

    Damn, that sounds rough, I can still train/spar.. even fight if I want, but it just means my stamina will always be relatively poo. :bbb

    Yeah it's ****. No point moaning too much about it, it's just one of those unavoidable things. I am pissed that I can't fight now, though. Good job I still got my guitar skills, they have remained unaffected:D.

    I've got a similar style to Judah's in the last few seconds against Kosta Tszyu.

    My best punch is the falling step punch as demonstrated by Cotto but I use a vertical fist:

    amazing to watch guys like that

    nice one, but in the amatuers you have to be busy try to force the fight abit using feints

    if you come down to the training this week ill find out haha

    :good

    i believe i have the best hand

    Whittakers Power, Calzaghes defence, Tysons heart and charisma


    Im a tall boxer. I use movement and straight punches. I have improved since the video. I use more angles and body shots and throw alot harder shots.

    Basically i move around well look for openings let loose and when i get a guy hurt i open up with body shots. I keep my hands higher now and am abit like JMM but nowhere near as good
