    I've heard him described as one of the most talented fighters in the world.

    What's he have going for him? Where do you feel he's going to end up, personally?

    Best fights?

    Anything, really.

    He has KO power in both hands, he can be a slick boxer, the only real problem is he may have a lack of focus and a chin issue...

    Holt is a very good fighter with big time power...He is abit chinny however, but your going to go though hell before you get him. Cotto didnt want to fight Holt, his promoter Dino Duva claimed that Cotto flat out ducked him, with Arum saying they had no interest in fighting Holt giving up the belt at 140 and moving up two years ahead of what they planned...That is what Duva said. Was it true I dont really know.

    i dunno he just gets knokced down he has his senses just doesnt have the balance. yeah chinniest champion out there at the moment.

    pretty good boxer-puncher very talented with alot of athleticism. just as we all are saying. he can get caught with a punch and ending up with broken hands due to the ref stepping on them

    His chin is his downfall. He has great boxing skill and offense, but he's so worried about getting tagged in the face, he's always in defense mode, which result in boring fights.

    People need to be careful throwing these chin statements around, you're really putting your credibility on the line.

    Chin takes punch resistance and recovery into account, yes? His former is average or below, his latter is superhuman. If anything I'd say it's a wash.

    Torres would of probably won again if it wasn't for that freak headbutt incident that turned the fight, i don't rate Holt tbh.

    I agree in essence, but you have to wonder how he's gonna last against a good finisher.

    He essentially got lucky against Torres who was reckless, and with that headbutt.
