[The Fightfan]

Even though they are not in the same weight class I always thought Kelly Pavlik reminded me of Joe Louis. Very basic boxing style, deadly puncher with both hands.

I disagree because Joe Louis was more of an infighter where as Kelly Pavlik likes to land his shots at mid distance i think Kelly Pavlik is like Carlos Monzon both are robotic and both rely on there jab/right hand combo.

JCChavez - Hatton

JCChavez - Hatton

No way Leonard is much better than ODH, nothing alike.

Hatton is a very poor version of a JCC.

Prescott = Trinidad

Margarito-Hagler

IMO, both tough stalkers with underrated skills.

Nah disagree Antonio Margarito hasn't really got skills and just keeps coming and takes two to land one..........

Where as Marvin Hagler was a very skilled fighter in his early days he showed good movement solid jab and solid counter abilities he did change his style into more of a stalker later in his career but he was still clever while pursuing especially at changing to right handed.

Come on ICB,To say Margarito is without skills......period......is pretty short sided Imo chief On the same note......he is no Hagler either.

I said he hasn't really got skills i didn't say he has no skills he is very good at what he does and thats coming forward with nonstop punching barrage breaking down his opponents but he isn't very skilled and thats a fact i am a fan of Antonio Margarito but you can't really argue with that he does nothing very skillfully and is quite sloppy at times but he is still hard to beat just like Bennie Briscoe was.

Sorry bud but it really translates the same Imo.Just a little broad brush,thats all iz saying.I'd say he's pretty skilled at breaking opponents down for the most part and imposing himself .He does not one thing spectacularly but is far from a simplistic caveman eating punches,left upper-hook is tops,his mentality and self confidence combine to be some of the hardest in the game today,Briscoe would be proud

[Trainer Monkey]

Early Hopkins looks like a combination of Frazier/Early Witherspoon,good Frazier weave coming in,but then relentless Witherspoon inside pressure. Even through the Echols and even the Trinidad fight he does a quick Frazier weave to get in,and once he's there,relentless pressure
Since he moved up in weight,not so much.
Valuev oddly reminds me of Liston,the step out,deep breath and come again style
Holyfield used to make me think of a very dirty Patterson,the way he like to snipe and move
