    I loved the insight from the Shane Mosley thread and I hope this one will be the same.

    Strengths: Great puncher, especially the left hook. Also put together punches well. Amazing heart and will. Chin was good but could be dropped and hurt but was very resilient. Good inside fighter as well. Did well against other sluggers.

    Weakness: Porous defense. Fought shorter and didn't use his height to his advantage. His shorter reach also makes it harder for him to catch opponents that move away away from him which made him struggle against out boxers. Could be prone to slug it out on the inside too often. Also slower footwork.

    Strength: left hook counter on the inside

    Weakness: Eating too many punches and not banking rounds with his jab.
