Poor man's thread

Iran Barkley looked like he was emulating Hearns against Duran

 

Rex Layne is a poor man's Marciano

 

Holmes is a discount Ali

Wlad is a discount Lewis, who's a discount Louis

Jeffries is a discount Marciano

 

Holmes did a fair bit differently to Ali, he was more squared up and agressive, he was definitely a harder puncher imo, he didn't have the defence or fluidity of Ali but Ali didn't have the same physical strength and power of Holmes.

Good shout, except I think Wlad was harder to outbox. His weakness wasn't being outjabbed or overpowered it was explosiveness, Lewis was far more susceptible to jabs

Nah. Lewis (H2H) > Louis (H2H). And either way they fight nothing like eachother

Unless it was a name joke in which case Ew>Ou

 

Both use jabs as range control before setting up a right hand. Both are outside fighters

Lewis in his younger days didn't fight like Louis because, pre Manny, he was more susceptible to brawling

Also Louis would knock Lewis out don't @ me

 

Lewis did it better, and hit harder and against better people
He just wasn't as consistent for as along

He didn't fight like Louis anyway, He used his usual reach advantage and boxed from the outside and tried to KO them from the outside
Louis set up his punches and ended up on the inside.

Fine but Lewis makes Marciano his *****

 

Hearns was a master class v Duran, his jab was amazing, Barkley didn`t use the jab like that at all v Duran.

 

No but he tried, he failed and looked like a poor mans Hearn doing it

 

Uh, Louis also tried to control and knock out from distance. Like his fight against Baer and Pastor. Louis was very capable of fighting on the inside and when he was pressured by inside fighters like Galento, Godoy and Marciano, sometimes he was forced to

That chin doesn't want no part of Suzie Q. Lewis checks under his bed for the Brockton Rock

 

Marciano is a poor man's Bobby Crabtree.

 

While you're right on the basis that Crabtree went 6 rounds with Foreman and Marciano wouldn't make it out of the 2nd, both would be knocked out by the GOAT Artur Beterbiev

 

Bert Cooper is a poor man's Joe Frazier.

 

He wasn't as good at it tho, that was my point.

Who says it would land before Lewis's would, he was better than Walcott. He definitely hit harder. Marciano's chin doesn't want anything to do with Lewis's colossal right hand. Vitali landed bombs on a past prime Lewis and he walked through them, I'd say he hits at least as hard as an 190lbs Rocky

 

Oh I thought Rocky was a bantamweight
