Poor man's thread

Yeah but Cooper was a better dressed homeless man’s Joe Frazier than Marvis Frazier was.

 

I could see that, he had some elements of both.

 

Lets be fair here Holmes is not a discount anybody. Maybe you can say Greg Page was a discount Ali but certainly not Holmes who's a Top 5 Heavyweight Champion.

Lewis isn't anything like Louis.

 

Jeffries, Lewis and Wlad are the same calibur of ATG as Holmes but that's the one you're upset about?

 

Definitely.

 

I'm not sure why you made the post in the first place.

Wlad is an ATG.

Lewis is nothing like Louis.

And Jeffries is a great fighter in his own right.

I was too lazy to go point by point.

 

Because I think they're similar but inferior versions of who I listed

I think Marciano outclasses Jeffries

I think Ali outclasses Holmes

I think Louis outclasses Lewis, who outclasses Wlad

Sorry I guess I'll try to be more obscure. Jimmy Barry is a discount Eder Jofre

 

Isn't that why he'd be a poor man's Hearn?

 

Hrgivic is a poor man's Vitaly Klitschko
Dubois is a poor man's Anthony Joshua
Deontay Wilder is a poor man's Max Baer
David Tua is a poor man's Joe Frazier
Hughie Fury is a poor man's Tyson Fury
Dillian Whyte is a poor man's Ray Mercer

Ortiz is a poor man

 

Which bit? Lewis was clearly a much better boxer from the outside than Louis and name me one Louis opponent that was better than a prime Vitali Klitschko H2H

 

Everything you just said is bull****. Study yr sport man.Read watch and learn and **** youtube.

You can be better than this.

 

This is a complete insult to Chavez. It's not just about Diaz lacking power... he didnt have a FRACTION of Chavez's skill, defense, chin, or ring intelligence.

The gap between Chavez and Diaz is so wide that you might as well be comparing Keith Thurman and Ray Robinson.

 

Chang as a poor man's Duran immediately comes to mind.

 

Not sure how calling him a poor version is an insult, but ok i'l try & work with it. IMO any fighter with minimal skill can win a trinket belt

But when one earns the WBA, WBO, IBF (aka Baby Bull) at the same time, that has always been called cleaning out the division. If you feel Diaz doesn't have a fraction of skill or ring intelligence, then cleaning house doesn't require skill.

JMM wouldn't have been involved with 2 thrillers if he was going against a fractionally skilled fighter, In a JK manner, that is an insult to JMM & boxing fans who voted their match FOTY! How often do unskilled fighters earn such prestige?
