* [[There Are Two Kinds of People in the World|There Are Two Kinds Of Boxers In The World]] - Sendo believes in this, as seen [http://www.mangareader.net/115-4828-14/hajime-no-ippo/chapter-502.html here]
* [[Throwing the Fight]] - Malcolm Gedo will throw his fights for the right price. Hell, this guy would do anything for money full stop.
* [[Those Two Guys]] - The [[Fat and Skinny|two]] [[Gonk]]s who admire and obey Aoki, called "the Aoki-gumi". They have no talent for boxing whatsoever, nor do they want to train or work − [[Too Dumb to Live|because they believe Aoki got that far without any work himself]]. Everyone at Kamogawa gym wonders why they come to the gym in the first place. For a few hundred chapters they don't even have a name. They are just the Aoki-gumi. Even when they ''seem'' to have [[Took a Level Inin Badass|Taken A Level In Badass]], it doesn't last long and is rather [[Played for Laughs]]. In a lesser extent, Aoki and Kimura also are this: when Fujii details the talents of Kamogawa gym, he names Ippo, Takamamura, Itagaki and two other guys. They are even named "Aokimura" by Itagaki, much to their annoyance!
* [[Tiger Versus Dragon]] - Sendo and Sawamura
* [[Tomokazu Seki]] - The voice behind Miyata.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]] - Ippo's [[Boxing Lesson]] eventually leads to this.
** In a slightly straighter example, Naomichi Yamada, a slightly chubby and somewhat inept boxer who trains at Kamogawa Gym (and is nicknamed 'Geromichi' due to his unfortunate tendency to barf after training) until his family is forced to move is replaced by the intimidating, brutal-looking Hammer Nao. To quote Kimura and Aoki upon finding out, "''THAT'S'' GEROMICHI?"
** Then there's Kenta Kobashi. During the leadup to Ippo's fight against Hayami, Kenta confessed that even after observing every one of Hayami's fights, he couldn't find any way to beat him or the Shotgun technique. When they finally do fight several years later, {{spoiler|Kenta had grown enough to give Hayami injuries severe enough that they ended his career}}.
* [[Toshiyuki Morikawa]] - As Volg, pretty much [[Playing Against Type]].
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]] - The Indonesian champion, Woli, is almost always seen eating a Banana.
* [[Training Fromfrom Hell]] - Many training sequences, most featuring a shouting Coach Kamogawa, are like this. However, the must difficult training that characters seem to go through is their weight training, which can leave them as shells of their former selves.
** Some characters don't suffer much from the weight training (Ippo is naturally featherweight and seems to meet the weight with little trouble at all most times). On the flipside, Takamura probably has the worst of all, when he forcibly keeps himself '''five''' classes underweight for a title match since there's a general lack of credibility in the Pacific Heavyweight scene. This adds up to forcing himself '''50 lbs.''' underweight. The results of such weight management are suitably ''hellish''.
* [[Tranquil Fury]] - Normally, Ippo is nearly impossible to anger. Trash talk and [[Jerkass]] behavior fail to even phase him, because of his humble personality. However, in Chapter 919...someone makes the mistake of calling all of the former opponents that Ippo has beaten (and deeply respects) "trash". Ippo does NOT take it well.
