If you're a fan of Roy's style then you might want to look at fighters that had a big influence on him, notably guys like Salvador Sanchez and Jersey Joe Walcott. This may give you insight into his feints, tactics, or even some of his classic "moves."

When studying a really good fighter, try to find the reasons behind what they're doing and what they're trying to accomplish. For instance, consider that their stance/posture might be fundamental to their fight strategy. This may lead to what being better off defensively while limiting and/or influencing their opponent's actions. That means more offensive opportunities, and from that their counters/tactics can be much more effective.

When you watch Roy Jones, try to imagine how it would be to fight him. Take note of his strengths and weaknesses. What kinds of challenges had his opponents presented him, which of it worked, and what you would do differently? It's the same kind of observation that you would use in actual fighting.

One neat thing that Thomas told me before is to try to shadowbox yourself. This is taking the stance/style of one of your opponents and shadowboxing an imagined version of yourself. Not only can this help you understand a particular fighter better, but what's also so essential to great boxing is understanding what your opponent sees when he fights you. It's in this high level of being able to play both sides of the chess board that seperates the bums from the champs.
