        You don't have to agree! It's my opinion and there's no right or wrong when it comes to such opinions.

        Feel free to post your own!

              C'mon you cant be serious with that and not elaborate!

              Why does Loma remind you of Tyson?

              Why does Haye remind you of Bruno?

              Off the top of my head i'd say:

              Spence - Hearns
              Loma - SRL

                That's okay! If you ask properly, I'll be happy to answer rather than just laughing off my opinion.

                David Haye reminds me of Frank Bruno because both are knockout artists with a similar KO percentage, both have poor stamina, both have suspect chins and both look like bodybuilders. That's enough similarities for one to remind me of the other!

                Vasyl Lomachenko reminds me of prime Mike Tyson because of his head and upper body movement. Along with his peek a boo guard. Vasyl Lomachenko's style appears to be a more advanced version of the peek a boo style of Mike Tyson which incorporates advanced feints in addition to the slipping, bobbing and weaving and general upper body movement which Mike Tyson's style was based on.

                  Good analysis on Loma/Tyson - i can see where your coming from now that you point it out however Bruno and David Haye i can't get on board with. I have yet to see any evidence of the stamina or chin issues you see with Haye and stylistically they couldn't be more different. Bruno was a plodder with a big heart and good power who was loved by the British public. Haye is about as athletic a heavyweight as you'll see who can box well off the back foot using movement and angles and is hated by the British public. The only similarities i see with Haye and Bruno is that they both fought at heavyweight and are both of the same ethnicity!
