    His boxing is on a decent level that with practice he could go somewhere. He is a big, strong, powerful man who is jabbing to the body, countering with hooks etc So he has some potential.

    He's a viable crossover candidate, unlike many MMA elites (likewise there are very few viable crossover candidates in the other direction among boxing's elite).

    He has real good hands in MMA, I don't think he'll be a world champ but he can do pretty good. Just cause somebody isn't a world champ doesn't mean they suck, and Santos has pretty good potential. If he concentrated solely on boxing as a kid I'm sure he could have been a solid pro boxer.
     
  5. I like his chances in today division. He has freakish power and technique, great to watch.

    It would be fun to see how he would do. I don't think he would get past the first couple of rounds with one of the Klitschkos, but watching him throw hands with Arreola or Tua would be fun as hell
