Hmm not sure about that example mate. Any reason you think that?
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.
