Thread: Examples of a boxer fighting in the most common way

The question to those who train or did train:

among famous boxers, right handed, who fights or fought in the most common way possible?
By common I mean what is taught in averaged boxing gyms.

I need somebody who is fairly well presented on youtube in a reasonable quality

My pick is Marco Antonia Barera, solid orthodox boxers without any specialty technique-wise
I actually need some heavy weight, kinda opposite to Tyson

Please write your suggestions

By common do you you mean both hands up by the cheeks? Not a peek-a-boo and not a philly but both hands up with a nice tight defense?

Joe Calzaghe might be what your looking for.

Textbook is the word you are looking for.

For textbook boxer i will go with Sonny Liston

I will check again Joe, not very familiar with him, but personally, from what I saw, I would not call him common and textbook

I will have to go watch some vids when I get a chance. But it seems at its roots, his style is pretty "textbook". Im sure there are times when he drops his hands, loosens up his defense and etc. but textbook style at its roots.
