Past greats & their modern day counterparts

Jerry Quarry = Alexander Povetkin

Tony Galento = Butterbean

Ray Robinson = Ray Leonard

Primo Carnera = Nikolai Valuev

Sandy Saddler = Eusebio Pedroza

Carmen Baslio = Bobby Chacon

John Conteh = Virgil Hill

 

Barney Ross - DLH

 

Iran Barkley - Julio Cesar Chavez junior

 

James Toney - Adrian Broner

 

Baer-Wilder (one trick ponies with loud personalities)
Ali-Fury (trash talking big guys with great movement and jabs)

I might get some flack for the Ali-Fury comparison but I make it every time I see Tyson box, he’s the closest thing we got.

 

Azumah Nelson - Joseph Agbeko

 

Not exact criteria , but what about :
Basilio/ Ward - aggressive walk forward body punchers, could take a good punch, not overly gifted as boxers, but tough and durable.

 

Gil Clancy once said that watching Antonio Margarito is like watching Gasper Ortega reincarnated

Some good ones I agree with
Quarry Povetkin
Ali Fury
Baer Wilder
Ill add one
Louis Anthony Joshua

 

I wonder if Kid Gavilan ever got a chance to watch Evander Holyfield fight

 

Thomas Hearns is the closet thing I’ve ever seen to Sugar Ray Robinson

 

Joshua Clottey is a poor man’s Dick Tiger

 

Liston and Ike is another one
