    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 :good

    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.
