- Homer Simpson
- Peter Griffin
- Bart Simpson
- Mike Tyson (Because he is in it, is portrayed as very powerful, and made lotsa money from the licensing deal. However, he said that he was bad at that game but for some strange reason, he likes playing Resident Evil.)
- Mostly everyone who owns a Nintendo Wii.
- Actually, almost everyone who owns an NES or a Famicom.

Trivia
- The Bruiser Brothers (Rick & Nick) were originally planned to be in the new Punch-Out!! game for the Nintendo Wii. However, they were scrapped due to not having enough personalities to be memorable.
- Those who created Punch-Out!! for the Nintendo Wii stated that the reason why they mostly put the guys from the NES' version of Punch-Out!! on the Wii's version was because that they were a much better thing to do than create a whole bunch of new guys. Besides, it was also served as a great homage to the NES.
- There's a rip-off of this series for the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, and Amstrad computers entitled "Frank Bruno's (World Championship) Boxing." It's basically a watered-down, modified port of Super Punch-Out!! from the arcades. In this game, you play as some dude named Frank Bruno instead of Little Mac. There's also some guys who were rip-offs of Bear Hugger, Dragon Chan, and Vodka Drunkenski named "The Canadian Crusher," "Fling Long Chop," and "Andra Puncheredov" respectively.
- Another rip-off of the Punch-Out!! games was named "Power Punch II." Nintendo originally supervised the game made by Beam Software until they disowned it. Later on, it would be released by American Softworks Corp. instead. It had a guy named Mark Tyler fighting against the best guys of the universe. The game sucked, but it was originally supposed to be called "Mike Tyson's Intergalactic Power Punch". However, it was changed to Power Punch II due to the rape charges that Mike Tyson had, as well as his loss to James "Buster" Douglas. Believe it or not, you could get the original game by many cartrige reproduction companies.
