    Gatti.

    Though I've never laced a pair on, I'd want to be just like him.

    I'd like a shot at the greatest, Sugar Ray Robinson. Even though he'd kick my arse i'm sure i'd learn something from him in there. If i could remember anything when i woke up that is.

    Somebody who I've never heard of that has a really bad record, but can punch a little bit and take a solid shot.

    A crappier southpaw version of Mayweather with less shoulder roll but more head movement and occaisonly squaring off to throw liver bodyshots.

    I should have been more specific, iw -- not who you'd like to fight like, but what your mindset and tools would allow.

    I'm a tall, lanky guy (6'4, 195lb). My dream would be to fight like Thomas Hearns and bring some serious thunder in my shots. I could say Chad Dawson, but my mindset is more aggressive than his (at least from this side of the ropes).

    Pretty sure I'd fight a lot like Vitali (reflexes based defense, offense based on counterpunching and finding unexpected openings), just probably throwing some hooks/overhand right with full commitment a'la Lennox from time to time. Vitali seems a bit to tall and slim for that. Or maybe that's just isn't his thing.. but I think I could use such shots quite effectively.

    I'm 6'1, feel most comfortable just under 200 lbs.

    Pernell Whitaker but with pop in my punches

    I'd just stand there in front of my opponents with my hands low dodging everything they throw at me, then lay the smack down on them after making them look like complete fools
