    I get the idea that if he fell under a bus tomorrow, people would look at the rankings of his opponents in ten yearsÂ’ time, and they would conclude that he should have been tested!

    It's the Mike Tyson effect. Everyone is scared of what they hear. I'm sure he hits hard but his power is over exaggerated. He has a good jab and a hard punch that's it. His speed is average and defense nonexistent.

    In a world of 1 belt and one champion he is probably the most outstanding contender we've ever had in the MW division.
