The guys only 26, few years of good boxing training, brought along the right way,i dont see why he cant make a bit of a splash.
To be fair, he would have the best combination of size and athleticism in the division along with Wlad and is power is definately up for the task. If he were to really tighten his defense and work on his punching form, he could be a dangerous foe for everyone with his style (that is to ko or get ko'd). He could be like an extreme version of the young offensive Wlad. After all he did TKO ATG Semmy Schilt in less than a minute and Schilt is not known for having a shaky chin. Thing is that he does not use his size at all, he doesn't really have a jab or box from the outside. He just goes inside and starts slugging in hope that his precision and power will see him through. That style will also work less well in boxing since he has an iffy chin and the fighting record here is more important than in K-1 and one single loss can set you back month or even years.
I had heard as such, however i doubt he'd be expecting it in a boxing match. Hari's just one crazy, crazy man.
i made a thread on this a while ago. he seems to have good power and is quick. the only problem with him seems to be his chin. the heavyweights could use another star.
The best HW kickboxer in the world taking his career as a prizefighter to another level.Good look to him.With a good trainer (Freddie Roach is rumoured) and his athleticism and natural foghting instinct he can improve a lot, is still young, and can do well in the future.
This guy seems like a loose cannon. I can honestly see him getting stunned, losing it and throwing a kick or a knee and getting himself disqualified in a boxing match. He seems more suited for MMA.

By not using his entire skill set? It's a bit like Michael Phelps playing Marco Polo for the rest of his career.
Hari's Chin is one of the most abysmal in the entire world of combat sports and there's no way that he'll hold up in boxing simply because of that. Add on the fact that his hands are nowhere near as good as his overall kickboxing ability and you have an accident waiting to happen. Shattered glass the first time he faces a halfway legitimate fighter.
