    Don't watch fighters you like. Find yourself. Then find fighters that are similar. Pick up bits and pieces. Your attributes determine the style.

    Hopkins, McCallum, Sanchez. Best is to watch every fight you can get IMO. Human beings are copying machines, you'll copy certain things just from watching their biomechanics.

    Also, Pacquaio has good footwork.

    Juan Manuel Marquez and Mike Tyson for combination punching/setup and movement.

    Mike also had great head movement and was excellent at cutting off the ring and closing distance.

    Pacquaio does not have good footwork. At all. He leans way too much over and his feet leave the ground everytime he misses a punch.
