don't many tall fighters imitate Hearns? McCrory and Breland seemed to imitate Tommy, but never could duplicate his accomplishments obviously

Does George Foreman wrapping his towel around his shoulders/neck to make himself look bigger (hard to do, haha) during his comeback count? Sonny Liston I believe trade marked this.

Sonny got it from Louis with the towel over his head and shoulders ect, but yes Liston did wrap alot more towels than Louis did

Thought this when I first saw him,though as said was in the same camp.Obviously had a few things Willie didnt,harder punch,more dedicated probably,but I thought Pastrano a more colourful character believe it or not.

Then we had the thousands of Ali mimickers,most of whom ended up on their backsides.

Names escape me now, but i seem to recall quite a few fighters mimicked the
Tyson pre fight Head-roll - After Tyson it seemed to become a commonly adopted "Tick" !

Buster Mathis tried displaying some fancy footwork (5th Round i think ?) against the dancing Master Ali - it raised a small smile if little else, Likewise a frustrated Jerry Quarry did Similar for a short spell in the 2nd Ali fight.

SRL -- minus the firepower -- was a clone of SRR
