The comparison I see is how they win their fights. Both guys had one major goto move that they looked to deploy. Chuck had his huge overhand right and Conor has a huge overhand left. Both guys turn the fight in their favor with that one weapon.
Don't get me wrong. Both guys can fight anywhere. But it's that one big tool that they have they look to use. Conor can do a lot of things and do them well. But he turns his fights around by dropping that big left hand on guys chins. It's a massive tool to have that kind of power in that left hand. Both Siver and Poirier started to unravel when he started landing that thing.
Both guys can fight everywhere but their whole game was about looking to drop that 1 hitter quitter on you. Conor even said something like that in the post fight presser last night. He said when he started out he was just a boxer looking to land that big left hand. Well that is somewhat still his game but now he has more tools. But it's that one tool that he uses to his best advantage.
Just some random thoughts.
