    I think probably the most famous example would be Jack Dempsey and Max Schmeling.
    here are a couple others in my opinion

    Mike Tyson and Cliff Couser

    I also always thought that Pinklon Thomas looked a lot like Ken Norton.


    Alex Stewart imo looked like a heavyweight Matthew Saad Muhammad.


    Any others?

    Ray Beltran (boxer) looks like a smaller version of Joey Beltran (UFC fighter) - ironically with the same last name, though i'm fairly certain they are not related.

    To add to the confusion, I read that Joey Beltran (UFC) is looking to make his pro boxing debut.......in a fight AGAINST RAY BELTRAN!!!! okay I made that last part up, the weight difference is likely huge, but he is indeed looking to go pro as a boxer.

    Jack Dempsey and Max Schmeling could pass for cousins.

    Joe Louis - Coley Wallace is a famous one.

    Although no great facial resemblance per se, I always felt that with their similar physiques, the 'tache and slightly receding hairline on either side of the head that Bill Costello was a "min-me" of Ken Norton.

    Scale down Victor Galindez to Fly/bantam and you have Santos Laciar.

    I always thought that Tim Witherspoon looked a little like Sonny Liston, Sonny had a darker complexion though.
