    Bruno Arcari has some similar moves and straight punching style, but not the workrate or flurrying in the fights i've seen of him.

    Harry Greb comes across as being similar in many ways.

    That was the first I thought of too. They have many similarities. Harry was far more dirty though and greater obviously.

    I always thought they'd be similar but obviously no video evidence
