Why Abdul Uzza ibn Qatan was compared to the dajjal?

I've read sources comparing the Dajjal to an 'Abdul Uzza ibn Qatan'. Who is this person and why was the comparison made?

Dear Brother / Sister,

According to the information given in the Buhari, "Abdul Uzza ibni Katan" was a person from Huzaa tribe (Buhari, Fiten, 26). According to one narration, he is a person who lived during the time of our Prophet (pbuh). According to another narration, he had lived and died during the time of pre-Islamic Arabian paganism. Ibni Hacer fond the before narration weak and preferred the second narration (See Ibn Hacer, the explanation of the related hadith.).

The comparison made is not a moral comparison, it is a physical comparison. Ibn Qatan was a well known person by the most companions of that time. In order that the physical characteristic of the dajjal to be understood well, the comparison had been made on him. It is being understood that Ibn Qatan had a red/white body, curly hair and was a cockeyed person like dejjal.
