Poor man's thread

Pinklon Thomas was a poor man’s Larry Holmes
Don Curry was a poor man’s Sugar Ray Leonard
Milton McCrory was a poor man’s Tommy Hearns
Chris Eubank Jr. is a poor man’s Chris Eubank

 

Curry's style was nothing like Leonard's. Bad comparison.

 

Good comparison. Curry like Leonard relies on quick reflexes and upper body movement for defence and fast handspeed with unerring sharp and accurate shots for offence. Curry tended to keep a higher guard while Leonard had flashier footwork and was more versatile overall but then this is why Curry was a poor man’s version of Leonard.

 

Nino LaRocca - a (much smaller) poor man's Ali.

 

Kid millo .poor mans Hagler.

 

Anthony Mundine (very very) poor mans RJJ

 

Thomas Hearns ------> Roger Mayweather

 

The truth hurts.

 

Rafael Marquez and Jhonny Gonzalez - Poor man's Finito Lopez
Ian Napa - Poor man's James Toney

 

The king of this has to be Adrien Broner.

The guy is a second rate carbon copy of Floyd Mayweather from his style both in the ring and out of it, hell he's even copied some of Floyd's mannerisms during final instructions and in other ways.

Zab Judah was a poor man's Pernell Whitaker (RIP).

Also I'd say Anthony Joshua is a poor man's Lennox Lewis

 

Tillis, Biggs, Green, Thomas and a bunch of other heavyweights from the 80s=second rate Ali’s

 

Do you have to be poor to post in this thread?

 

Donny Lalonde was a poor mans Don Johnson.

 

Most recently Josh Kelly looks like a cheap imitation of Sergio Martinez and Roy Jones Jr.
