<Who do you credit with the style that PBF uses?>

[CutMeMick]

Damn.. Nobody even given you an answer yet! Cc in 24 for the topic!

Ahh! not to worry sometimes I create threads that are for my own understanding of something.
Like I'll think something up and start typing most of them don't make it this board some do.
Anyway! heres CC#445.

For me..Its plain and simple..

Floyd sr and Roger can say they own floyds style all they like..But neither were ever a shade on floyds skill.. So since floyd put it into motion and made it his own.. And stuck his speed and eventual experiance to it.. Then its Floyds

All they can do..Which i will add is what they have done.. Is claim that they Helped..

Floyd sr Did more then roger i would say.. Roger as far as training and bieng there for floyd as a person and a fighter and bieng a successful fighter himself added the final touches which i believe doesnt include his defense..

And Floyd was just gifted enough to put it into practice.. Cos Floyd sr and Roger cant show floyd how to punch as fast as he does.. They cant show him how to block punches by getting in the ring with him.. Its all technical..And floyd puts his spin and skill on it

But if someone wants to claim it from the start they should be looking down the list in this sort of manner..

Toney-- From, Charles Walcott and so on

Great point's and good thing that you brought up Walcott and Toney theres def. some influence there from those styles.
But I would say they helped PBF develope his speed, they helped him learn how to avoid/block punches.

# 1575 for the thought provoking topic... Let me mull this one over before I can give you a definate answer

Thanks...
Heres CC#626 on me....
And I'll be looking forward to your post....

i agree completely, both Floyd Sr. and Roger contributed to Floyd's style by teaching him the various nuances and subtleties he employs. I would say, however, that I would credit Floyd Jr. with the style he uses. Only he can put it into practise and I'm sure he's added things along the way that are wholly his own.

Herec CC#62 CFH and thanks for your input....

In the end...no matter what Floyd jr says...it all came from his daddy.

Senior taught Roger, Senior taught Floyd, Roger taught Floyd, & then Floyd melded both together & then tweaked it with his own speed & foot work.

Wacks take CC#2940 and take it in well.....
I strongly agree here Senior is the creator while Roger and PBF are inovators of that form. (Amongst them not talking about Walcott & Toney)

CC.thought provoking stuff Mick. Although I have ZERO idea as to the answer,I'd like to know,do you just want to know who made the style for Floyd or the origins of it??>

Heres CC#1724 El Gamo,
My questions are;
Who do YOU credit with the style that PBF uses today? Senior, Roger or PBF himself? Or other?
