Answer 1

It depends on your physical ablity, your speed,your power,your hand coordination,your size, all these great boxers you mentioned were good because they created a style that worked for them based on the tools they had, you need to find fighters that were similar to you in size,speed and power and see what they used, moreover some fighters had great chins and as such their styles allowed punches to come in easily because they had the endurance to take those punches, some fighters relied on speed, RJJ was very fast in his prime but his chin was not great and his defense was basically his speed, as he got slower with age he became easier to hit and that was his decline, the same goes with Mosley. I suggest you look at very technical fighters that relied on tried and proven boxing techniques in the ring, people like Gene Tunney,Sugar ray Leonard and Mayweather Jr whose counter offensive style is very effective, good luck and message me if u have any more questions on the matter.

Answer 2

it depends on your style, but one legend you could learn from is marvin hagler, excellent chin, balance, footwork, underrated boxing skills, was completly ambidextrous with his right and left, had great power, defended his title 11 times, beat multiple hall of famers, take a look at early mike tyson fights, and watch how aggressivly he moves his upper body and swings his weight with his punches, also notice how he moves his head after every single punch he shows

Answer 3

prince nazim hammed he was a lightweight that hit like a middle weight also one of the best movers in the game he was so slick and accurate with his punches as long as you dont end up an a*****e like him lol

Answer 4

julio cesar chaves sr

pernell whitaker

muhammad ali
