There are definitely some style comparisons especially when they get a guy in the corner and also his amateur record which only consists of about 30 fights. He also never started boxing until age 22. From what I have seen so far Shavers had better fundamentals with pretty good head movement and could bob and weave but he was shorter then most of his opponents.

Here is a short 14 minute vid. Take notice at about the 2:50 mark and his fight with Roy Williams. I want to see Wilder get some rounds against a threat and maybe see if he has the metal to come back the way Shavers did in that fight. Today that fight would have been called at least twice in Williams favour.
