    Which current fighters remind you of past fighters.

    I’m not saying these guys are carbon copy’s but I see certain similarities in each or as Mick Hennessy would say “shades”.

    Deontay Wilder- Julian Jackson

    Anthony Joshua- Frank Bruno

    Errol Spence- Mike McCallum

    Terence Crawford- Sugar Ray Leonard

    Juan Francisco Estrada- Juan Manuel Marquez

    Roman Gonzalez- Roberto Duran

    Any others?

    I think your way off on Crawford,imho hes a clone of sweat pea. Its almost like Whittaker had an illegitimate son who grew up to become Bud. Ggg reminds me of a poor mans JCC,AJ is a destitute mans Lewis(could be way off on that one) Lomachenko is a better version of Kostya tszyu

    Ima catch a ton of hate for this,but Nelo reminds me of hagler(obviously they are different handed too,but something about them reminds me of each other maybe its because of their build). Spence reminds me of Leonard more than bud,Ruiz fights like Tyson & studies his tapes, Takam fights kindve like Holyfield,thurman fights like a cheap imitation version of hearns(a blind mans version)

      Wilder - Julian Jackson? u wot m8? More like Michael Grant.

      Andrew Tabiti - Andre Ward. jab, clinch. jab clinch clinch. lowblow jab clinch clinch jab.

      the man in my avatar - Rakhim Chakhkiev. zero gas tank, zero gameplan. zero jabs. throw everything you got in 2 rounds, if this fails, get knocked out shortly after.

          Crawford reminds me some of Hagler in that he is an elite switch hitter.He kinda looks like Thomas Hearns in the face especially the eyes.Crawford is just unique so I cannot really think of someone in the past that he is exactly like.

            I don't know how anybody can look at Crawford and not see Tommy Hearns.

            Nah, that would be Tevin Farmer.

              I can see the Whittaker comparison, he just reminds me of Leonard when he fights more offensively, the way he put combinations together in stopping John Molina Jr really reminded me of SRL.

              I can’t really see the Canelo/Hagler comparison, but it’s completely subjective. You might see something I don’t

                You can’t see it? Both huge punchers who are incredibly dangerous yet vulnerable

                  Yeah I see it both like to step around the target throwing shots from unusual angles. Good shout.

                    being a big puncher is where the comparisons end. you could of literally said any big puncher in history.
