Name some fighters that try to mimic other fighters styles.

Snuff_Armstrong17y ago

We all seen it at one time or another, a fighter fighting a certain way for a long period of time and then out the blue he switches up his style to be like someone else. Whether it be because of a new trainer they're with, a more pleasing style they want to adopt, or simple because they want to, we seen it. Who are they?

Thats funny! An out of control pimp.

Joe Calzaghe tries to imitate Ike Turner's style.

Snuff_Armstrong

Does Timothy Bradley remind anyone else of a miny Holyfield with less power?

17y ago

Snuff_Armstrong

I think Joshua Clottey emmulates Ike Quartey a little.

17y ago

I think Gamboa and Haye both mimic Roy with the hands down to the side and using their athleticism to beat their opponents to the punch.:boxing:thats a fighting style, you can't just mimic something like that. If you try to mimic that style, you get knocked out. Ex NATE CAMBELL!!!! some post that vid right now!

Snuff_Armstrong

I dont know, I guess I see some Oleg Maskaev in Tomasz Adamek.

17y ago

Snuff_Armstrong

...and thats funny, because Roy has been fighting a lot like Winky lately. Thats a good one.

17y ago

Snuff_Armstrong

Or a better one would be, Paul Williams=Tim Austin. There you go, thats a better comparison.

17y ago

Snuff_Armstrong

I got one that should draw attention. Paul Williams=Mark Johnson (without the defense).

17y ago

roys been tryin to do the winky lately..... keyword - trying

tim bradley - floyd mayweather jr

17y ago

Guzman = Pernell Whitaker Angulo & Andrade = Margarito Martinez & Pascal = Roy Jones Jr. Alfonso Gomez = Julio Cesar Chavez

17y ago

Snuff_Armstrong

Yeah, I dont know if what Zab was doing would be considered mimicing Whitaker. That was totally an off base statement.

17y ago

What about when just about everybody thought Zab Judah was Pernell Whitaker, yet with pop? then the story of the sparring session. Judah was supposed to be boxing's biggest star

I think the Klitsckho's try to mimic Lennox Lewis. Thats probably more due to Emmanuel Steward.

Holmes definitely learnt a lot from Ali, especially in the jab department apollo creed..... ali marciano.... balboa

Larry Holmes was like Ali in a sense. Holmes definitely learnt a lot from Ali, especially in the jab department
