I'd say Bruce Lee. More specifically Jeet Kun Do philosophy. As a runt, I started with wrestling, then Boxing, then kickboxing briefly, Muay Thai... moving along studying all forms of combat from Hockey fights (used to play) to now researching Kali and krav maga... . Studying fighters and breaking down styles, stances, weight shifting, and body position and techniques ... picking up what can be blended in and discarding what is useless
Boxing holds a special place because, prior to cable it was the only one that was televised mainstream over here aside from maybe the Olympics (judo, wrestling TKD) where you could watch, analyze and glean from the pros in competition. (Even now, many martial arts on cable are exhibitions, not real world applications.) So I spent most of my time watching it and breaking down in my head why the best were the best. Fighters like Ali, Tyson, Roy stood out because stylistically they were extreme for their time but still so effective. Ali's movement, Roy's everything... I mean Cus coached patterson and torres but there was something about the speed and compactness of tyson under him that brought the style to a pinnacle.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
