    I didnt mean Marquez was a poor man's Arguello. I meant this FIGHT was a poor man's Arguello-Mancini.

    Marquez & Arguello are in the same class. Marquez has quicker hands, and throws better combos than Arguello did.

    But obviously... he doesnt have the type of fighting ending power Alexis had. Alexis had a better chin also.

    Kat wouldnt have been able to withinstand more than 2-3 rounds of walking into Arguello's heat.

    It's hard to say since they are both quite poor.

    AA is worse! At least Clottey only shut down completely against one of the best fighters of all time.

    AA shut down against fuckin Carl Froch!

    If Clottey had AA's power, he woulda put Cotto in the ER.

    Some guys are wastes of talent. AA is a waste of POWER.

    The most obvious to me is JL Castillo was a poor man's Chavez

    BenTackie was a poor man's Quartey

    Judah was a poor man's Whitaker

    Judah is nothing like Whitaker...not even a poor man's version. "Pernell Whitaker with power" was just used to hype him up the same way Herbie Hide was once called "the second coming of Muhammad Ali".

    Agreed.

    But the hype surrounding Naz and his supposed potential wasn't realized by himself....but Pacquiao became the star that Naz thought he'd be (legend with multiple titles in many weight classes etc)

    You're talking about accomplishment, but I thought this was a discussion of fighting styles?

    I think they have similarities in their fighting style, but I wouldn't call either a poor-man's version of the other. They are both rich-man's versions of some unnamed 3rd fighter who fights in their style. :kidcool:

    I see someone's getting all sensitive cause they're wrong.

    Pascal attempts to emulate Jones with his style, people have been pointing this out for years.

    Maidana and Tszyu simply have NOTHING in common stylewise, other than both being aggressive, Asian-like punchers.

    Pascal and Roy simply have NOTHING in common stylewise, other than both being fast, athletic boxers.
