    Fitz was a great counter puncher also, its just when I see Toney vs Kid C, or some one else, he does the same movements as Fitz in the Corbett fight, hands down, (And not bounching up and down lol)
    Waiting to counter.
    If I can rip them off the films and place them in some holygram or something, they be a good rip off of each other.

    James Tillis seemed to be something of a a poor mans version

    - Buster Mathis was mobile for a big man, and actually did a fair immitation of Ali - to Ali in their fight ! (which was more like an exhibitiuon bout)

    Larry Donald tried to emulate the style, and even made up rhymes to go along with it.

    Sugar Ray Leonard, Michael Nunn, and Naseem Hamed were pretty good Ali imitators.

    Calvin Grove and Howard Davis at times. Early Michael Nunn was like a southpaw Ali, lots of speed, punches and movement. Of course, early Larry Holmes but he was a better inside fighter (nice uppercut) and settled down more as he matured as a fighter. Didn't quite have the legs to emulate his idol Ali, but he compensated well in other areas.
