    Brilliant Boxing Brain , Great Chin , Great Handspeed , Great Footwork and a Huge Heart. His resume gets Flak but the Hopkins win was great. Bhop was still a great fighter and so is Kessler. He was was the underdog against Lacy and he always rises to the ocasion. A Simply Brilliant Boxer!

    Agreed Wish he had a few more fights against fighters in their prime but he was an excellent fighter and fought everyone he could have.

    Ridiculously overrated by the Calzslappers. A good fighter, but lacked the balls/desire to go out of his comfort zone to fight.

    He exposed lacy.

    He is good, he's just not 'amazing'

    I wouldn't put him in the top 70 ATGs.

    Amazing fighter indeed!

    Mastered a style that was very hard to deal with, not given enough credit for his subtleties and adjustments. Victim of circumstances to a degree, plus he suffered from a lack of confidence in himself, which he didn't gain untill very late on.

    He also underachieved given the talent he had, which gives people room to criticise and rightly so.
