A lot Like Baki, Ippo is Based Around Someone who's Maybe Not So Strong Showing their Stuff And Making Some Progress. Its more the Journey For the Main Characters In Each Anime That interested Me, Similar Art Style Along With So Many Cool Fight Scenes Its Unbelievable.
Unlike Baki, Ippo Has Quite A Bit Of Humor I Found, But concentrating Around A Serious element. My Personal Opinion Was That Ippo Was the Better Anime Although Baki Is Worth The Watch If You Have the Time And are Into Martial Arts Anime Or Generally Cool Fight Scenes.
A series about a guy fighting his way to the top. Hajime no Ippo and Baki the Grappler are a good example to convey that concept. The main male protagonist gets involved with fighting/boxing and meets powerful adversaries during his quest. Throughout their perspective stories, we learn more about them both in and outside the ring. There are back stories relating to the other characters too for an insight on their development. I recommend both series for anyone interested in a a steady paced action packed anime with decent development.
If you like action fights and hard work, then you should check out Baki.

Baki the Grappler also deals with a young man competing to become a young champion. Both titles feature bone crushing hand to hand action.
Hajime no Ippo is a series about boxing, while Baki is a show about martial arts in general. Now the only big difference is that Hajime no Ippo's boxing is based more in reality compared to the crazy metaphors used in Baki. Now they both have some great qualities like: Great pacing, Great understanding of it's martial arts and both shows have a long ongoing manga if you can't get enough.
