    Pacquiao has Bernabe Concepcion
    Cotto has Omar Henry
    Floyd has Adrien Broner

    I was just wonder if you guys knew any other fighter that steal styles.

    I would say Khan steals Pacquiao's style including the glove tapping and ****

    Khan and manny fight with the same ethos of get in and out fast with flurries but there styles are quite different khan uses his height with lots of jabs as apose to manny who's prefers to tee off with straights and hooks

    I don't care about style copying... if it works, it works and there are just so many styles to chose from.

    What does bother me is copying mannerisms or fighter specific trades, wich is just sad :-(
