I have thius theory about watching fights to learn I think you are better off watching amauters, clubfighters etc than you are watching ali, hearnes, leanord or jones the big timers do stuff that us regular folks most likely wont get away with for instance I saw a vid of trinidad and he picked his damn foot off the canvas throwing a right jones withhishand at his side ali pulling straight back hearnes with his wide legged stance and another thng is with the more basic fighters you can study both what to do and what not to so lets do this what journeyman or loer level fighters do yall think its good to study augustus ward
Depends what level of Amateur you're talking about, for one. The really top level amateurs are absurdly good. And even Emmanuel Augustus is extremely talented, that's why he can do the **** he pulls. Micky Ward was a solid journeyman fighter. Look at even some of the stuff top level guys do-Winky Wright's defense is good, Mikkel Kessler's upright, technical boxing style is also very textbook.
You shouldn't be studying Trinidad, Jones, Ali, Hearns in the first place. If you want suggestions on what professional fighters to study, I'll list a few: Ivan Calderon Mike McCallum Frankie Randall Marco Antonio Barrera Juan Diaz Those 5 are a start.
