He has good skills, but to date those he's displayed have been almost exclusively offensive; excellent combos, good mobility and control of range, effective feinting and good accuracy.
For some reason there does seem to be a tendency to dismiss guys who get KOs as just having power, but the simple ability to hit hard isn't enough at this kind of level, punch placement and selection, the ability to create openings and accuracy are all aspects of offensive skill, without which the proverbial bombs wouldn't land.
