Who are some Boxing and Kickboxing equivalents?

[RnateC]

Mike Tyson and Altsitar Overeem
Manny Pacquiao and buakaw por pramuk

 

[ironfist05]

Tyson/Hari sounds like a bit better of a comparison, though I daresay that Hari is more of a thug than Tyson ever was.

masato/sugar ray leonard

 

[bad seed]

Mike Tyson and Altsitar Overeem
Manny Pacquiao and buakaw por pramuk

OVereem fights nothing like Tyson. In Uber mode, he is a slow, plodding and methodical. In normal mode he is cautious with low volume output. The closer parallels in kickboxing would be Zambidis and Saki.

I dont see Buakaw in Pacquiao either. Coban is the better equivalent- short southpaw with explosive combos.

My vote is for Thomas Hearns = Dieselnoi. Two long, lanky motherfuckers that pierce through defenses with scary power.

Roy Jones = Saenchai for obvious reasons.
and Malignaggi = Petroysian. Guidolicious pillowfists.

who are the rocky Marciano's Ali Sonny Liston George Forman?
I'm just getting into kickboxing

and these are some boxers I like

 

[Karaev fan]

masato/sugar ray leonard

I think someone else has made this analogy before, but
Masato -> Leonard
Buakaw -> Hearns
Souwer - > Hagler
Kraus -> Duran

(Petrosyan ->Whitaker)

who are the rocky Marciano's Ali Sonny Liston George Forman?

Peter Aerts -> Foreman: Unstoppable tyrant in his youth that made a resurgence over a decade later
Ramon Dekker -> Marciano: Undoubtedly great fighter that a lot of people claim is the best of all time mostly because they don't have a great perspective on where he stood

 

[Cocakillbana]

Malignaggi = Petroysian. Guidolicious pillowfists.

 

[Kanka]

maybe zambidis and mike tyson? in terms of style

 

[Volizei]

GGG=Holzken?

 

[premiumtap]

GGG=Holzken?

Holzken is Lomachenko, GGG and Kovalev all wrapped in one, not taking their different weight classes into account.

Who is the Joe Louis, Willie Pep and Ray Robinson all-in-one? I say Michael Duut.

 

[JustinvR]

Who is the Joe Louis, Willie Pep and Ray Robinson all-in-one? I say Michael Duut.

But who is the Julian Jackson, George Foreman and Earnie Shavers in one? I'd say van Roosmalen, I mean he has terrific KO power according to Glory.

Keen eye, brother, keen eye.... I'd say throw in Leonard's legs and Chavez chin as well, and you got yourself a pretty acurate discription of Duut.

You're such a funny dude, man. Please stop cracking me up.

 

[czarnowskilukas]

Overeem is Andrew Golota. Big guy without head

 

[ironfist05]

I think someone else has made this analogy before, but
Masato -> Leonard
Buakaw -> Hearns
Souwer - > Hagler
Kraus -> Duran

(Petrosyan ->Whitaker)

I'm pretty sure that was me, though I think I had it as SRL/Masato, Buakaw/Hagler, Hearns/Souwer, and Duran/Kraus. The whitaker/Petro comparison is great.
