    Elusive head movement, constantly running away, low workrate, scared to get hit, always runs his mouth with hollow words he never backs up..... All seems to firmly place him in the slick catagory.

    Slick enough to cruise to clear 12 round defeat against wlad.
    For a heavyweight he is slick though.

    Never really thought of him as slick at Cruiser weight but as a heavyweight against much bigger, slower men he falls in to the slick category.

    He is a cautious counter puncher. He rarely leads with a punch.

    He has very quick reactions and is good at evading punches when that's his sole goal in a fight. He's got decent timing on his power shots as well, and is relatively light on his feet. Aside from that he's relatively crude. Very Jean Pascal like.

    Wow, never thought of him like that, and to a degree I kind of agree.

    And to answer the question..... He is reasonably slick, but he is no Oil spill.
