    Quarry and Bugner had completely different styles, most of others had similar or somewhat similar but not identical. Anyway, my picks:

    Wlad by KO
    Ellis by SD
    Quarry by wide UD
    Robinson by UD
    Tua by KO
    Povetkin by KO
    Norton by SD, but Witherspoon might have KOed him with that huge right hand
    Peter by KO
    Ali vs Holmes - DRAW, to hard to pick
    Mayorga by KO

    50-50
    Ellis - maybe?
    Quarry UD
    Charles (too big) UD
    Galento - closer than people care to admit.
    Povetkin KO
    Witherspoon KO
    60-40 Whyte?
    50-50
    Haven’t seen much of either.

    Also cmon very few of these guys resemble one another stylistically…

    Agreed. I don’t see how Povetkin and Morrison are identical at all. And that goes for a few others as well
