    I just found a fella who is the spits of Joe Louis named Joe Lindsay. https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/20068
    Seeing this had me thinking of an interesting question to ask yourselves. Do you know of any other doppelgangers in boxing?

    Vitali Klitschko, Chris Algieri, and Carl Frampton are the same person.

    I always thought Tony Bellew and Gabe Rosado could be some sort of distant cousins.

    I always thought Ruslan Chagaev and Kubrat Pulev looked like they could be related

    James Toney and Ross the Boss Thompson. Thompson at one point looked like a mini Toney, I'm still not convinced they aren't somehow related.

    And on a more random one, Lou Del Valle and former NBA basketball player Aaron Williams look a lot like each other at times in the past.

    How can we get even this far & nobody even mention two very famous boxers who looked so similar & were even almost exactly the same size?

    Jack Dempsey     & read about + check out this first image of Max Schmelling.
    Who was a great guy & lived to nearly 100.
    His career began in 1924 & he came to the US in 1928, soon after the Manassa Mauler retired for good.
    Maybe we can posit some uncanny coincidental connection between them?

    Are there any other boxers quite so close in appearance & proportions?
