Which fighter do you most resemble?
I try to model myself after Mickey Ward. A simplistic approach. My footwork is fine but I don't float like a butterfly and my handspeed is not like Mayweather's. But I do hit pretty hard so I like to try to get inside and slug it out.
Another reason I can relate to Ward is because he taught me my left hook. My trainers tried to engrain proper form into me but I never really understood the whole turn-it-over thing until watching old Ward footage. Then it made sense. Push off the left, palm in, turn it over in motion, weight on the right. It's my best shot.

style wise i would say i fight sort of similar to aaron pryor but obviously not as well lol
Re: Which fighter do you most resemble?
looks wise there is no pro boxer out there lucky enough to be as pretty as i... cept mayb floyd and ali :P
stylewise i take little things from my favourite fighters and if i see something that makes sense during a fight i try make it work and go from there...
things like parry's which i use alot, and alot of side to side movement like odlh
head movement is sort of like tito or jose luis castillo .. meaning mainly just slip and comeback with shots, and pretty much use it seldomly i feel my defense has alot to be desired compared to my other skills, but i always feel that offense is the best defence.
and fightwise im pretty rugged like barrera technically good but can turn it up when the going gets tough..
lol all depends on who im in with i try clock what they do early and work on it.. like sometimes if its alot of jabs and a couple of hooks with barely any body work i tend to work mainly on defence and counters keep my guard up and maike em miss...
if theyr abit harder to work out i jus take the piss a little and tend to have my hands low and duck and slip punches and counter... its fun to do, and doesnt end up all too bad when theres nothin else that i can think of to fight them like... lol
peace

There's a few ex-posters who resemble Audley Harrison.
They pretend to be fighters, but are not.

larry holmes i use keep left jab use fast footwork and put few nice combos in there but my defence is bit like ken norton at times with my right hand near my chin bit like criss cross style but not like his its hard to explain :P
Re: Which fighter do you most resemble?
Tommy hearns but obviously less power, i got quick hands a good straight right and combos, but at the moment quite a leaky defence, not sure whether i got the glass jaw yet though :P

CC ;D
I don't fight like any one fighter... other than me ;) noticing that you box like a particular boxer is fine... deciding that you are going to fight like another boxing just because you like them isn't... box like you... ;)
Re: Which fighter do you most resemble?
Kinda easy to explain. Im like Rocky Balboa. I can get knocked down 20 times in 1 round and still be able to fight. I always lose my belt when i dont need to wear trousers but always get it back after I lost it.
But after all that Im not Italian!! :lickish:

Re: Which fighter do you most resemble?
I try to fight like ODLH and barrera but it dos not work for me in real fights and I feel very good when I fight without thinking at all just let my hands go move around alot and I keep my arms down to my weist but I really don't like that style but it works best for me.
