W, Klitschko and Joshua (Joshua was a copy-paste Wlad's version in the rematch vs. Ruiz).
Rigondeaux and Lara.

What do you think ?

I don't see that comp. AJ is more active and has a more diverse arsenal. Wlad had that right hand thunder and better jab.

I did not say their styles were identical, but very, very similar - at least 80%.

Which fighters would be your choice ?

Pre-2000 fighters come to mind first. Joe Frazier and Dwight Qawi. Most eastern euro fighters seem similar.

valero and the younger rawer pac were very similar....aggressive seek and destroy southpaw style with constant fast 1-2s, could be prone to tear ups

fighters under ulli wegner had very similar styles.....abrhahm, murat, huck. high guard. fight in explosive spurts then go inactiv for much of the round.

The Ukrainian former 2012 Olympic team members - Usyk, Lomachenko, Gvozdyk - have the similar style with high technical display, moving, volume punching (although Gvozdyk carried more power than the other two).
