NEWSFLASH FLOYD you stole your father and Pernell Whitaker's moves so shut it, your style isn't even your own

actually his style is a mixture of black mambas and his fathers...making it the complete offensive and defensive package.totally creating something different...besides his father and uncle have been training him since he was three who else would he fight like...
He fights just like his father just hits harder.but to claim anyone stole "his" moves is a bit too much.
I agree in that any move that keeps a fighter from getting hit or provides and opportunity to land a punch should be freely included any fighters repetoir. However i dont think you can accuse the man of stealing something from his father that was taught to him for practically his entire youth. Its not like he really had a choice, even if his first words woud've been "Marvin Hagler", he still probably would have been trained as the fighter he is today. In that respect, I would say he does have a point or at least has a more natural claim to his style that someone who switches over occasionally to raid the styles of its virtues but doesnt fully commit.
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.
