I’d honestly say the best fights to learn from are your own.

If I'm reading that right, you're suggesting you're a small heavyweight? Look at someone like Chris Byrd maybe? Learn how he used his lack of size as an advantage?

Jersey Joe Walcott v Rocky Marciano I

I just wish, really wish, I could fight like Jersey Joe, using subtle shifts of the hips, feet and impeccable timing.

Alas, not.

Best way to learn is to find a good trainer, who can teach you to use the attributes you got , rather than copy someone elses,

You study tall boxers , they will use there jab , short boxers will use there size , and so on and so on

But i used to have a short boxer who could out jab just about everyone in the gym , he had perfect distancing , even though a lot shorter he could outjab everyone else , and he was left handed , but was never comfortable has a southpaw , other trainers used to tell him you have to go lefty your left handed , you need to be a southpaw , i could see he was uncomfortable , so i threw him a ball , said kick it back , he did , used his right foot , do it again , i watched him trap it and kick it back with his right foot , i then said your not a southpaw your just stronger with your left hand .

Striong left hand coupled with perfect distancing ability that came natural , he had a record of 50 fights or so ( ameteur ), more losses than wins when he came , went on and won something like 25 out of his next 30 , just by allowing him to be him and not copying the mainstream
