    Hmm

    6ft 1
    204 pounds

    so HW or cruiser


    boxing style?

    concerning my fighting skills so far (jiu-jitsu, full contact swordfighting) I'd be
    a turtleshelled counterboxer and a southpaw.

    :D

    Counter-puncher. I'm a southpaw version of James Toney. But obviously not a tenth as good as James...

    I am about 6 feet tall. When I was 19 or 20 I weighed about 140. So I am sure I could have gone as low as 130 but would hve probbly fought 135-147. When I could I would take advantage of my hight and reach advantages. Hitting my opentents from an distance where they can not hit me. Being younger than I am now I would have a lot of energery
    I'm 36 now and weigh about 160. If I could get my body down to 154 i would. However 160 and even 168 would work for me as well. A few years ago when i was 32 I trained for a smoker that never happened. Through this experance I learned what kind of boxer I would most likely be. The word i perfer is economical. I am confedent that with training I would have pretty good or at least half way decent boxing fundementals. i will never be a boxing master, but i think half why decent is not out of reach. i am also confedent that I can hit with power in both hands, espicily my right hand. I would never be mistaken for a master defensive boxer however with a tight gaurd some head and body movement and also by keeping my distance I would be difcult to hit. I would not be the most busy offensive boxer espicialy in the early rounds. I would look for openings take advantage and disengage.

    I used to box as amataur, but my technical skills was never worldclass:p As pro, guess just a brawler, strong and a good punch! but my record would probably be something like 20-25!

    Weight division, LHW or CW

    As an amateur I was jab-jab-jab- straight right- jab-jab-jab and so on, very tall and thin so I had to keep them at a distance. You can call it robotic :lol:

    Cotton-blend, snug waistband, big crotch with enough room for a cup if need be.

    I was nearly a foot taller than the average for my weight class with bad vision and joints. I ended up relying on the fact that I can take more pain than the average bear; using my footwork and long-ass legs to channel their rushes made catching the little guys flush a lot easier and I could chuck 'em pretty far when they wanted to wrestle. People with decent footwork who weren't idiots outpointed me easily, though.

    Id fight Super Middleweight to Cruiser. Im built exactly like Chad Dawson more or less. Except Im not black obviously. But exact same body basically

    Southpaw Defensive counter puncher, with power in both hands, stlll has the ability and left hook and the chin to brawl like a mexican.

    I doubt Id ever be a world title holder. I love boxing, but I never envisioned myself holding a belt.

    Frankly I would be happy to just be a scrappy journeyman.

    Since I'm kinda short, I feel as though if I were a boxer, I would have no choice BUT to be a pressure swarmer. Joe Frazier is my favorite boxer so I would try to model my style after him.

    I would descride my style as obscure yet very relevant. I'm a enigma with aleft hand jab that swerves both to the left and the right of the ***kicks reader in the balls***

    VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    When I hit my heavy bag I constantly throw the left jab then a right cross, with the occasional flurry and a hook here and there. I'd be like Arthur Abraham as I tuck my chin in and have a high guard, plus I'm a lazy *******. I would fight at SM.

    I would be Don King. Watching your face getting rearranged while laughing all the way to the bank.
