    Since I'm a LHW, 5'9 with broader shoulders, I guess Langford.

    :lol: I don't have anything near his power. I fight like a little crowding ******* though. Admittedly when I do spar/box I try to ape Duran the most, that style feels the most natural for me, although I try to do my best Louis impression when I can. I think you get a lot more leverage on your shots and combos in a flater footed standup position that way.

    I always tried to fight like Evander Holyfield. Boxer puncher heavy to the lefthook body and head. It suited my style. I couldnt be a brawler or a slick boxer.

    pulling off a tyson combination for a sparring KO. right hook to the body, right uppercut, left hook. I also managed to get a knockdown attempting that fitzsimmons shift(it works!) but I couldn't put him away.

    The fitzsimmons shift, is that when you miss a right hand and switch to southpaw and throw a left hook? I've seen Duran do it with leonard.

    Yep, Duran is a guy who does this.

    You can throw it as a feint, but the point is you switch to southpaw fluidly during that right hand punch and feint by moving your back foot up, and then ideally you nail him with a left hook to the plexus or head or a left straight depending on your position.
