Re: Fighters today who have similar styles to fighters of the past.
I see Hatton being more similar to a poor man's Duran than a poor man's Chavez. Chavez was a more methodical, deliberate and patient stalker. Duran could be that way, but more so in his younger years, came forward at a faster pace, like Hatton does. Hatton and Duran seem more unpredictable in their aggression. And unfortunately, both guys have too much clinching in their fights.
As expected, you see similarities in Floyd Mayweather Jr and Sr, and Roger. And a Mayweather Sr. fighter in Joan Guzman.
It was mentioned on another thread, but similarities exist between Marlon Starling and Joshua Clottey.
I don't really see that much style similarities in Katsidis and Gatti other than being entertaining white fighters who bleed and swell a lot.
