Fighters who fight very similiar to each other

Floyd Mayweather and James Toney.

If only they both trained the same way that Floyd did. That would have been incredible.

 

Barney Ross and Oscar De La Hoya.

 

Lomachenko is the closest thing to a Pacquiao (with the punching and rolling to the right to turn their opponents).

 

David Tua and Joseph Parker

 

Deontay Wilder and Primo Carnera.

 

Mayweather and Toney fight nothing alike. Are you high? Both use shoulder rolls and are defensive masters. There the similarities end.

 

They both use angles. But they fight nothing alike.

 

Vazquez Marquez, mirror images of each other.

 

From the same place, fight nothing alike. A 5-10 short stocky guy does not fight like a rangy 6-4 guy.

Not really. How come nobody in this thread can name two fighters who actually fight similar to each other?

 

You think that Israel & Rafael's styles were different?

 

I loved this fight. Guitarrez was supposed to be the break out star for Duran, but Clottey was considered a darkhorse. I had expecations fro Clottey.
This is a great example of two guys who didn't have a contrast in styles IMO, rather a comparison. Sweeter is that they both love to fight in the phonebooth.

I ain't watched enough of either to know for sure. I've pretty much just watched their fights together when they were synched up and throwing leather. My guess is though that while Vazzy has that reputation as a gunfighter, Nacho wouldn't let Raffa do that consistently. Something tells me if we go back and watch his fights with Too Sharp he'll be fighting more defensively like his brother.

 

Both used that high guard.
Both go to the body often.
Both choose to fight inside.
Both look ordinary fighting from the outside.

Clottey-Guitarrez

 

Everyone is, your just crying about it.
