    Lopez and Marquez? Yes

    Toney and Floyd? No. Footwork and movement were Floyd's biggest strength more so than shoulder roll while Toney always stood in the pocket. Toney also didn't use jab as much as Floyd did, but he usef combinations much more comparing to Mayweather

    Ray Robinson and Johnny Bratton
    Ricardo Lopez and JM Marquez
    Juan Francisco Estrada and JM Marquez
    Ali and Larry Holmes
    Charley Burley and Roy Jones Jr.
    Azumah Nelson and Muhammad Ali
    Sam Langford and Joe Jeanette fought each other so many times they started to mirror one another a bit.
    Ali's early footwork was a lot like Willie Pastrano's

    Also the pace that they fought at was completely different. James Toney landed 400+ punches in four title fights. Floyd sometimes didn't even throw that many punches.

    Zac Chelli’s style is a carbon copy of Chris Eubank Jr’s. All hooks and uppercuts, very few jabs and all-action. Both excellent fitness freaks who compete across two weight classes as well. And to top it off both have nutty fathers who coach them in boxing.

    Love watching both fight, very fan friendly.
