        Bradon Rios and Ruslan Provodnikov are made of the same material. Master punching bag material.

          Thurman & Haye -- good catch. Both stole quite a bit from Roy Jones.

          Completely disagree with the Toney-Canelo comparison though.

          How about Juan Manuel Marquez and Ricardo Lopez

          Jose Luis Castillo & Julio Cesar Chavez

          Ike Quartey & Joshua Clottey to an extent

            Toney was more athletic than Canelo but I see a lot of similarities, particularly the way they set up their counter punches (the rolling, slipping), also the closer you are to them, the better their defence is. Both very good in the pocket.

            Castillo and Chavez is a good shout

            Quartey I think was more similar to Winky, his jab was super

              Yep -- Quartey once accused Winky of stealing his style when the two trained together out of France. I think both were under AB Promotions.

              I still don't see the Canelo-Toney comparison but maybe I need to watch Nelo again. Toney was just so much busier and just...better. IDK -- will have to review both of them.

                Foreman and Liston were somewhat similar. They were both come forward bombers with long powerful left jabs and serious KO power in both hands.

                    Got to agree with DAZED here, I don't see any similarities between Canelo and Toney I literally can't see any.

                    Maybe perhaps both of them are quite limited fighters.
