    I know abit about him but just wanted to get you fellas opinion on him. Bonafide top 3 middleweight for me. Seemed very upright with a good jab and very accurate punches. Was also known to do whatever the **** he liked outside the ring. Whats your opinion on the man.

    I'd never credit him with having the great jab that most others seem to credit him with having.Too much pawing and nowhere near as strong and authoritative as some would like to believe.Decent scoring punch,used it well to set up his right,but not a particularly sharp or powerful jab.
