This is one classic fighter that arises a certain skepticism in me when watching his fights, not in trying to finger his brilliant career or accomplishments, but rather in viewing his potential in the h2h sense.

How do you guys see him in relation to other greats in and around the divisions in which he competed most successfully? I see a fighter with excellent conditioning, great strength, and indominable will-- but also one open to being sharply counterpunched with his guard and being moved upon and outboxed with his limited footwork by many of his contemporaries.

Thoughts? Do I underate him?
