    Despite fighting at the 205 class in the UFC when hydrated he's heavier than Wilder.

    He may not have the exact same power but he's a more natural striker than Ngannou.

    He would easily KO1 Babic in a potential boxing debut.

    Honestly he might be able to beat some top 10 level guys at cruiser. Its not a particularly strong division.

    Hes quite stiff and not very quick or elusive though so that would probably do him in in the end.

    I concur. Stiff. But tough and hits hard with decent enough fundamentals. Wouldn't shock me (if he were to make the jump today) if he won a belt there.

    I like Perreira, but his style is not suited for boxing. His kicks are a good balance to his lack of boxing defense. But in boxing he would be removing one his powerful tools. Not that he doesn't have experience with big gloves, but he doesn't cover up well like most boxers do.

    He can easily adapt imo in order to beat some past of prime decent CW contender….
