    Henry Armstrong, obviously. Frazier was like a more left-hook oriented Heavyweight version.

    Qawi had some similarities, but there were also plenty of differences.

    Some of Tyson's movement is like watching Frazier.

    Tua was a lesser version of Joe style wise, but moved and fought in a similar fashion. Tyson for sure when he was young.

    Tyson was more similar to Patterson in terms of style (being as both were trained by Cus to implement the peak-a-boo style), although he had the ferocity of Joe.

    Actually, if you watch Tyson's trainer Kevin Rooney in his fighting days he implemented the same peak-a-boo technique as Tyson and Patterson did, he just lacked any of the physical tools to pull it off like the other two.
