Who do you box like?

I guess some of you just try to utilise the attributes of the guy your fighting with but with regards to tendencies and little habits, maneuvers, tricks etc... if you have a consistent skill set, or a style that is tried and tested, if you were to say who it most resembles, who would it be?

I suppose a combination of skillsets. I have designed myself and I am at middleweight on GOAT level. I'm tall and rangey so try to use my jab and movement well early on a bit like a less cautious Wlad, I am not afraid to throw the right though. As the fight progresses and I begin to wear down my opponent, I suppose I become more like Calzaghe and throw a lot of combinations. Towards the end I focus more on aggressive countering and trying to really take out my opponent, maybe a bit like Toney in that regard. I couldn't make my face anything like my own so that pisses me off a bit. I could do the likeness far better on FNR3.

I've been absolutely abusing this game lately. Seriously I love me some Fight Night but I really have taken my time warming to this version. Just couldn't nail the timing of my attacks. Now though i fucken Love this game. I tweaked the settings so that everything is a little more 'human' in the sense that both me and the CPU are that bit more 'Chinny' so that the BIG shots really make all the difference.

The way this game is designed, you can't help but be a counter-punching-box-puncher! (

)
So I guess i'm like a sort of somewhere between Paulie Malignaggi and Zab Judah.

(Meaning that I hit like a girl, get cut eyes just from blinking and have a tea bag for an arsehole)

i box like sweet pea in the first couple rounds. I stay low (I'm a 6'3" heavy) and lean far and worry about touching off some. If I feel the opponent winging shots, I start to do the step forward roll and look for a big hook upstairs. (More like a Edwin Valero)

When I first started playing I would hit my opponent so many times I'd tire out and get Ko'ed late a lot of times. Now I know to let them gas out some to early on, so I can be effective to land powerful shots in the 6-8th rounds. It's almost like the game has a time, where you can't really knock anyone out with even half-assed defense until the 6-7th anyway.
