Bit bored... so just wandering what world champions (or world level) fighters does our domestic fighters remind you off. Either in terms of fighting style, or their stories.

As an example.
I've always called Graham Earl - the UK's Arturo Gatti. Always in wars, never ever out of it, comes back from being "out of it" to win on numerous occasions.

Another one - A prime Takaloo = The UK's version of Ricardo Mayorga. Limited, wild, but can whack and had a good chin.

David Haye (currently) = A Young Lennox Lewis (pre Manny Steward) - Good amateur, devastating right hand, can be KO'd, worries over defence and stamina but undoubted talent, speed and power.

Any others.

One I always compare is Matt Skelton to Vito Antuerfermo - tough, not massively skillful, fit and always in your face.

Audley Harrison - Mark Breland - the hype surrounding Breland when he turned pro was beyond the joke, Breland had the skills and the pedigree but believed in his own hype and failed to deliver when it really mattered.

Danny Williams - As OF Snelling wrote about the great Eddie Philips 'Phillips has the finesse of a finely tuned racehorse but in boxing you need a bit of the carthorse in you'

So Danny Williams - Shergar!
