Cross Country, Boxing, then weightlifting. What did you do today?

You can't increase your reflexes, it's completely genetic.

You could study your opponents endlessly and learn them inside out so you could see their movements and actions coming, but even then you wont be anything like Whitaker. He was an absolute freak in terms of reflexes, agility and suppleness.

ya i agree, you heard of styles makes fights? Every single boxer out there have different styles, use what you have naturally for you as an advantage, and for what you lack work harder on it.

First off don't listen to the people who tell you that you're born with a style. That's not true. Maybe you can be born with better reflexes than another person but you can't be born with a style. A style is developed.

I started boxing when I was 15 and over time I tried learning a few styles and I did. The way I learned them was watching them. You have to study and learn their styles by watching them fight.

I remember I used to try and box like Ali. I was good with my feet and I had good speed but I didn't want to risk leaving my chin open. I experimented with some more and found that the easiest and most relaxed style for me at the moment is the shoulder roll. Floyd Mayweather does it and I'm trying to learn it to perfect it like him.

So don't listen to what people say. You may not be as good as him or you may even be better. Just practice and you'll find out. If it doesn't work out, go to a new style. Use what's best and more natural for you.

Btw, you might want to do reflex exercises because his style was built around perfect reflexes.

Any idea of how you perfect your reflexes? Do you have any good exercises that you can do by yourself to improve them?

I HATE getting hit. I want to be elusive as possible.
