El Chino will be a huge problem for anybody. With a heart the size of his native Argentina (in terms of land area, the biggest Spanish-speaking country and the 8th largest in the world), quick recuperative powers (those KD's vs. Ortiz did not seem to affect him longer than nano seconds), a good chin (I think it was only Ortiz who dropped him) and the capacity to unload over a thousand punches over 12 rounds (per HBO report in the Kotelnik fight)--with each packed with TNT-- and stamina to sustain an above average offensive pace, he has to be.
He may not be the most accurate puncher, his defense may never remind anyone of Mayweather, Jr. or James Toney, he may think that a shoulder roll is something to have for breakfast, head as well as side movements may be in books he has yet to read, he may be prone to dropping his left as he throws a power right, he may wing some of his power punches and thus leave himself open, check hooks and jabs may often foil his assault, but he'll be a threat to anyone, especially ones whose power he cannot respect.
