He's got a granite chin, good punching power, knows how to finish a fighter when he's got him hurt. His only two losses have been decisions, and one of those could have gone his way (Kessler). Never been close to being knocked out, only outclassed by the #1 P4P fighter in the world (Ward, in my opinion) and above all has the mindset and attitude of a champion.
Even when he's lost, he never loses that facade of competition and doesn't automatically become best friends with the guy that just beat him. But not in a petty way, either. He gives his opponent his props, but doesn't concede anything more than he has to. A real champion.
Probably an ATG, who has done more with the hand he's been dealt as a fighter than you would have expected. Not very fast, not a tremendous talent but has a huge amount of self-belief and just gets the job done and does it well. Can't really dislike the guy for that.
