Ok, something slightly new. Name a fighter, then next to him put another fighter who's very similar style wise. You can only name two for each placement, not three or four. And it doesn't need to be great fighters in the same class as each other. A journeyman heavyweight might well be closest to Ali's style for example. I'll have a go....... Joe Louis and Alexis Arguello. Pernell Whitaker and Stevie Johnson. Ricardo Lopez and Juan Manuel Marquez.
Daniel Zaragoza and Juan Manuel Marquez are a much more similar than Lopez and JMM IMO Willie Pep and Jim Driscoll
Victor Galindez was like a stylistically inverted version of Miguel Canto IMO, albeit a much larger version.
I disagree. Zaragoza was much too dependent on his left hand power and threw his uppercuts far wider and wilder than Juan. I say Lopez-Marquez is a fair comparison although Ricardo had cracking hit power for his weight division.
Joe Louis and Ike Williams Manny Pacquiao and Marvin Johnson Barney Ross and Kid Gavilan Winky Wright and Rocky Rocchigiani Carlos Ortiz and Gus Lesnevich Jimmy McLarnin and Kostya Tszyu
fair enough. All 3 of them are very very similar so its splitting hairs really, although you do make a valid point there about the wider shots. Canzoneri and Fitzimmons Basilio and Backus
"Stylistically inverted?" Are you referring to the stylistic inversion of Galindez' own natural slugging, brawling style that he used to win the lightheavy title from Len Hutchins to that of a patient, lay back on the ropes and wait counterpunching style? Resembling Miguel Canto??
Carlos Monzon, and ONLY when he's at his very best, Vitali Klitschko, and there would be mostly superficicial resemblances, such as the effective use of height and reach, as V.K., as good a heavyweight as I've seen in recent year, Lennox Lewis excepted, isn't the overall master that Monzon was amongst the middles.
Maybe a bit of an obscure selection, but..Clemente Sanchez, a Mexican featherweight champion of the 70's, with a powerful right hand and virtually no chin..and Ingamar Johansson. Both, incidently lost by knockout in their first defenses.
