Fighters who are a"poor man's version" of other fighters

Junior Witter was a poor man’s Hamed.

Maselino Masai was a poor man’s Tua.

 

Before March 17, 2007 I thought that JMM was a poor mans version of MAB, if that counts

 

Jung Chang was a very poor man's version of Aaron Pryor. The real Hawk! And don't let some small flightless insect tell you different.

 

Marciano was a poor man's Bobby Crabtree.

 

Yes it was common to read this in the mags of the time. Left hand low at times, long snaking jab, powerful right hand etc.

 

Larry Holmes was a poor man's Muhammad Ali.
Roberto Duran was a poor man's Carlos Monzon.

 

Dempsey and Tyson are very similar. I think at their bests Tyson had the better defence, and was better overall, I think Tyson's power was more natural, rather than doing the insane loading up Dempsey did.

Wilder is like Dempsey with any of the finer parts cut out for more powah!

 

Hughie Fury. Shades of Ali...

 

Vitali Klitschko was a poor mans Jorge Luis González.

 

Greg Page (more power), James Tillis (durable), Tyrell Biggs (mentally weak), Nino LaRocca were all poor man Ali imitators

Bonavena reminded me of a poor mans Marciano

Bert Cooper and Marvis Frazier were poor man Joe Frazier's

 

LOL I reject the challenge because he is no challenge

 

I always felt like Holmes was a discount Ali, Wlad was a discount Lewis, and Frazier was a discount Marciano.

 

Roger would never beat Hopkins, yet I think Jermaine fell apart more and wasn't as tough as Roger mentally to take the losses and go on.
