..Your Tall (6'2) and Lengthy( long arms ) ?

I'm bout to join a boxing gym , and i want to do mental reps + shadow boxing. But, I rather impersonate a great fighter than freestyle. I figure I would not be able to impersonate perfect anyways, adding my own niche on the way.

BTW , my favorite style is Robert Duran.

Why not just create your own style using your own natural abilities

Don't impersonate ANYONE. Develop your OWN style or you'll get knocked out like them. Impersonating takes too much energy for you to fight fluently, see Adrien Broner. You'll be in the middle of a fight worrying about "what would've Hearns done right here, how would he have thrown this pu..." BOOM! Thats the punch that caught you not being yourself. You can steal techniques and study when and how a fighter moves, defends, and punches.......but ADD it to your own style and build on it.

Damnit.... took my answer. Same reasons and everything. :heh:

Pride yourself on being yourself. Take bits and pieces from other fighters but every fighter has a flaw so I believe it would be damning to adopt the entire style of a fighter.

Good luck bruh.

holmes based his style on ali. ali based his style on ray robinson. bill miller built james toney to be his ezzard charles clone. all the berstain fighters are based on lopez. all the cus dmato fighters are based on patterson.

My only knock outs come from Head Butts , and Cowboy Boot kicks:damn:. I was raised next to a Irish Bar. My instincts come in and all that boxing goes out the window:bryan:. A drunk dude told me when i was little , to get a clutch on the throat & then you own the guy. Its the only thing i look at now :demonic:.
