    Marvin Hagler. Good combo of technique and raw aggression. Except I don't switch stances!

    Heavyweight Winky Wright... we have a very similar stance. Or Alex Povetkin when he was in the amateurs.

    I mostly fight like Barrera. I'm left handed and I jab a lot. I can smack you around with left hooks and left uppercuts; to the head and body. But my right isn't that great. I just use it like a club and hit people over the head with it. Hopefully that sets up a left.

    I tried imitating someone once and damn near got sparked out.

    What works for one person almost certainly never works out for the next with the same results.
    Actually, now that I think about it, what works for one person almost always at some point in time doesn't work for them either.:D You have to do your own thing, and respond to different elements presented to you on the fly. You really don't have time to stop and think, ok... what would so and so do right now. You gotta be loose, and natural.
