Which style is easiest to adapt?

[Stoppage]

I dont think you should imitate anyone's style, unless you have the physical capabilities to pull it off. When i see people trying to impersonate Tyson, Jones etc style it makes me cringe.

Without trying to imitate, future boxing greats wouldn't have been made. Look at Sugar Ray Leonard. He copied Ali's style and even trained like him.

Leonard had the physical gifts though, im all for it if you have the physical gifts but how many people punch like Jackson, Tyson, Rosario, Hamed etc ?

There are big punchers like Rid**** Bowe, then there are devastating punchers like Jackson, Tyson, Rosario, Hamed etc.

While that's true, you can improve your physical abilities in order to adapt to a style.

For example: some boxers were natural punchers but that doesn't mean others can't improve their punch.

I think you can improve your punch, but not raise the power behind it. I think you are born a puncher. You can always make it a better punch though, the way it lands and it's accuracy.

I think punchers are born not made, sure you can improve the delivery of your punch but i dont think it makes a considerable! difference.

Punchers can knock you out with glancing blows because they are natural punchers.

That's the most important thing. If you try to imitate another fighter you better have the natural gifts or you will fail.

Has anyone noticed how Louis stood?


I think that stance is great expect put the hands a little bit higher but he always created good distance between him and his opponent so I guess it was no problem. He made it very hard for his opponents to land a punch and dodged most of the punches standing like that - leaning on the right side. I think if you lean in one side, it's much easier to dodge the punches and you have a better head movement.

I don't know about that. When I first started boxing, my punch was weak. Today I'm one of the hardest hitters at the gym. My very first amateur bout was a first round knockout.

I agree that a lot of punchers are born but that doesn't mean you can't make a puncher.

There are all kinds of variables as to why you might not have been getting maximum power when you first started though, how old were you for a start, how old are you now, how much had been taught at that point.

What flaws did you have iron out to make yourself a better puncher?

I don't know how you describe 'weak' but if you mean weak like you landed your best shot and it didn't wobble someone, than that's weak.

If you have a weak punch, a punch that can't do any damage, I don't think there's any way to make it stronger. Yes, you can work on making it land more accurately and do more damage but you can't make the punch stronger.

I'm sure Malignaggi tried to make his right hand stronger but he doesn't have much power.
