    Again, this is an example of asking the wrong question.

    Just start training - ask questions later.
    Your style will evolve around your strengths. Let that decide what style you use.

    You never know, you might wind up being within the vast 'majority' of guys who try out boxing, and decide it's not for them.

    You can't emulate anyone, because you haven't drilled fundamentals yet. As the time goes, you will develop your own style.

    It depends on your opponent, you have to learn to fight both shorter and taller guys. For start as someone said above, use the jab and right hand, learn to slip, block and parry. Stick to the basics. And enjoy.
