heard that one a few times specially with the ackward upperbody movement and how he can turn a defensife movment into an offensive attack in a split second not a lot of footwork but enough upper body movement a make u miss make u pay why do you think golovkin was so hesitant to attack him allout against the ropes and the selfconfidence he has is similar to toney he was daring ggg to come and attack him when had anybody seen that b4 against the boogieman and also great chins.
Hmm not sure about that example mate. Any reason you think that?
How about Lomachenko and Orlando Canizalez
They both fight flat footed and hold their hands similar and plod forward a bit. The delivery of their shots remind me of each other as well
Like Toney? Lmfao!
Why not? I explained my reasoning in my post.
I especially see it when he goes back to the ropes and looks for counters off his upperbody movement.
That remains to be seen, at the moment Joshua is a big bodybuilder guy with a big punch & Wilder is a big guy who came to the sport late, with a big punch who will lose the moment he steps up his competition. The parallels in both are clear to see
The question is, will AJ be Lennox in that respect and expose grant/Wilder? not sure about that.
AJ is not fit to lace LL's boots tbh.
Bruno being better than AJ is a bit of a stretch tho mate..
Good post.
As I was saying, I see nothing special in either, skillwise. If they fight in the future, I'll probably vote for a "draw" or "I don't care who wins," if that's an option. Lennox Lewis and Joshua should never be mentioned in the same breath.
When Joshua fought Klitschko, I was more impressed with Wlad than anything Joshua was doing in that fight. It was a good, competitive fight and the only Wlad fight I ever remember enjoying. I give a lot of credit to Wlad for that performance, after being a harsh critic of his from day one.
Kyoguchi reminds me of JMM. I think it's the way he leans left and throws the lead uppercut, sometimes throwing multiple uppers in a row, and the way he often combines it with a short straight backhand
I think Bruno is better than Joshua, and Wilder better than Grant. Grant was the definition of a hypejob with no substance.
I don't see either Joshua or Wilder ever becoming something GREAT in boxing. The skills just aren't there. So you can't force it. Moneywise, they'll end up making some good coin.

Canelo sometimes reminds me of Floyd with slow feet. He's trying his best to imitate Floyd perfectly, which, in my opinion, helped him a lot in the GGG fight (especially, the first three rounds).
He's the best imitation of Floyd at the moment, sans the speed, but not perfect. I guess they must study Floyd in fight camps.
Still, a work in progress, tho.

How about Lomachenko and Orlando Canizalez
There are similairities in the way they use angles and throw uppercuts while moving to the side, he's also one of the first fighters I saw move his head down and to an angle while moving to the dead side of his opponent, a move that Lomachenko and Rigo do regulary, but Canizales was orthodox and he had one of the best quick sharp counter right hands that I've ever seen, he'd come over that jab with a killer right hand, great version of the pull counter.
The similarities of prime Juna Manuel Marquez and Ricardo Lopez were also very apparent, which isn't that surprising since both were trained by the same trainer.
Badou Jack reminds me a lot of the middleweights and light middleweights of the early 90s, guys like Donalnd Curry, Gerald Mclellan (minus the devastating power of course), and others, he's just a pretty active fighter in the ring compared to a lot fighters nowadays who only potshot.
Another throwback combination puncher is Jorge Linares, excellent lead hand skills like Ricardo Lopez minus the speed of course, Mikey Garcia is also a throwback fighter.
Terence Crawford at times of Pernell Whitaker.
Keith Thurman at times of Roy Jones Jr.
Jermall Charlo of Terry Norris
Good shouts. When he was coming up Charlo reminded me a bit of Larry Holmes. But hes been a bit more flat flooted in recent times
