on a scale from 1-10? I say 8.5. He was a hard enough puncher to earn the iron jawed Tua's respect. He stopped Chris Byrd with a brutal left uppercut - something that Tua, Vitali and even Wlad failed to do. Wlad stopped an older Byrd in 2006 who was a little past it by then. Not as hard a puncher in terms of single one punch power as a Tua or Lewis or Wlad but nonetheless a real hitter.
