Second - his chin. Can't emphasize how much I agree that we are witnessing an atg chin here. This guy is like a HW from The Matrix. He gets absolutely welted by the top dudes and just blinks and keeps coming, it's unbelievable, he hardly flinches. Finally, a point that you didn't make, regarding the criticism some people say about his 'slowness'. There is a thing in boxing that doesn't get talked about as much as speed or power or other things, and that is timing. This guy has phenomenal timing. The commentator called it 'rhythm' at one point in that scrap, and that's not necessarily a misnomer for the way he uses timing. He is absolutely rhythmical in his approach, timing his shots and putting digs in at 'odd' times when others don't usually throw - and therefore when opponents don't usually expect. He churns out big lumping punches and chops you down.
He has Dubois and Parker on his resume already - this guy is a unit, I don't think he's an easy out for anyone.
