    Which style is easiest to adapt?

    Which style from the old era or even now is the easiest to adapt? I'm talking about big names, like Tyson, Joe Louis, Mayweather, and others.

    What you guys think of Joe Louis' style? I don't think it's a very complicated style.

    Sorry, I meant to post this in the Training & Nutrition section.

      Joe Louis' style is pretty much textbook. The only fault I have on him is that after he would shoot his jab he would bring his hand down.

      I've tried Tyson's style. It's called the peek-a-boo style. It's okay but I wouldn't use it for myself.

      Mayweather's style is called the shoulder roll. I think it's really hard to do. You have to train yourself really hard to adapt to a style like his and he's pretty much perfected the it.

      For me, I have a style that I don't really see often. I dance (run around) a lot but I also have tight defense. Sort of like Sugar Ray Leonard, in a way.

      Out of the ones you mentioned, I guess it would be Joe Louis.

        Yeah, I also thought Louis' style was the easiest. I was just watching and still watching some of his fights and I think it's great and I am going to try it next time I spar. Some people tell me that I fight like Ray Mancini but I am trying to change my style. I want to fight in a style where I can be more comfortable and be calmed down. Louis' style seems to be a textbook, like you said. Pretty straight forward. I think that kind of style is also good for me as I can throw my overhand right with ease and put more power behind it.

          By the way, do you see a slit similarity between Sugar Ray Robinson's style and Joe Louis?

            I guess in the way their posture is while fighting. I even read that Louis used to be one of Robinson's heroes while growing up so maybe Robinson adapted to it, a bit. But Robinson was a much more skilled boxer. Especially better on his feet.

            When you're talking about a perfect fighter, Ray Robinson is a name that people will say, a lot.

              Yeah, because when I watch their fights, I can see some similarities.

              And yes, no doubt Robinson is the greatest. To me, he's #1 P4P ever.

                Oh yeah, one more thing.

                Try and make sure that your style can adapt to your attributes. Like, if you have a weak chin then you have good defense.

                  Nah, I think my chin is decent but that doesn't mean you don't have to protect it, one good shot can take anyone out.

                  I just noticed what you said before. Louis' did drop his hand after he jabbed and that was actually Schemling's plan, when Louis jabs and drops his left hand, Schemling throw the right hand right on the chin.

                    Tyson's style is complicated but it best suits me.
