Mayweather and Rigo use the philly shell which has been used for centuries even in bare knuckle boxing. Shoulderroll is also an old technique, watch Charley Burley fight.
Bowe uses a very conventional style. turtle shell defence, cross arm defence, conventional defense are all old as rock. The most recent style is the ''peek-a-boo'', i believe Floyd Patterson & Tyson used it best but Cus invented it and the first champion to use it was Bobo Olson [in the later part of his career]. ''peek-a-boo'' is basically turtle shell defense with a guard a bit low for better vision, and allot of upper body movement.
Wooo wooooo slow down did you say that there are many that copied Ali style? Name me TWO HEAVY WEIGHTS IN THE HISTORY OF BOXING THAT FOUGHT LIKE ALI I DOUBLA DOG DARE YOU.
Roy Jones Jr.
Parnell Whitaker
Joe Frazier
Floyd Mayweather
Sergio Martinez with both arms held low and head bobbing to entice the opponent to lead or attack which he will easily foil with head, feet or body movements after which he will launch his own effective counters.
I think Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez are also originals with their style of fighting.
Sam "King" Soliman
He had a style all his own, and was very unorthodox, but I won't sugarcoat what I really think about him.
He fought like a ****!ng retard.
He does get points for originality though. That is for damn sure.
frazier= armstrong
Jack Johnson is a true original.he was a master of parrying punches with that open hand defence of his
herol graham was a one off ,later on naz hamed copied him but graham was the first.
chris eubanks had a unique style too
Can u name me some fighters with original styles that are uncommon? Rigondeaux for one has techniques and moves that very few in boxing history had.
Even though Ali was an original during his time, there are many who copied his style, same with Mayweather so im looking for fighters with unique style or skills. Someone like Riddick Bowe whos a tall in-fighter or Odlanier Solins whos a front foot counterpuncher or even someone like Kovalev whos a volume power puncher (thats much rarer than u think)
Or whatever Aaron Pryor was
