    belfort has good hands but not on par with a deacent pro boxer

    he looks even better than he is because all other mma fighter lack boxing ability

    he throw nice staright punches, while always keeping a good stance and strong form (posture)

    How many times has Belfort been K.O.'d?
    And you have your answer.

    There are WAY better strikers in MMA than Vitor Belfort.

    They looked quite telegraphed to me. Anyhow I watch Ultimate fighter on Setanta and bisping really wound up that yank, and i though that UK lad was going to stick the nut on that rob browning.

    Guys like Liddell have better 1 punch power but nobody in MMA has faster hands than Belfort, they are lightning + he has good technique & definitely doesnt punch soft but his main asset is god given speed.
    Dont forget, the guy trains in other disciplines too so 100% of his time isnt spent on his hands.

    Hardly any times but anyone can get caught + Im sure boxers even of the calibre of DLH, Mosely or Hopkins could get KOd with someone sitting on top of them & unloading combo`s with barely padded fingerless gloves... having TKO/KO losses on your record doesnt mean you dont have great hands.
