    Mohamed ALI. Why would any titty weight try to imitate the greatest of all time? No one

    can duplicate the foot work and hand speed of ALI. NO ONE!

    The same can be said for any style of fighting, that is, all Styles can be attributed to past or present fighters, but just because someone can develop a style that may be unique, doesn't mean that someone can't improve on it. Mayweather and Toney are two fighters I'm somewhat familiar with, in terms of fighting technique, my only point is they are two fighters of recent memory who have perfected a style that many try to immulate. Just an opinion.

    Guys like RJJ and Naz were just physical freaks.

    Its almost pointless trying to copy their styles unless you yourself are a physical freak
