But your right: he would be in some very good fights.
But that's exactly what I mean-if Santos applies himself. From what I have seen and read in the Puerto Rican papers, Santos has found the dedication necessary to make a two year run and succeeding, especially without a clear cut, unbeatable presence in the 154 pound division. I have to disagree with your comment on Santos style, however. He is a lefty and a great counter puncher WITH POWER. I pulled out his second fight with Margarito and saw that he gave Tony a tough time. In fact, Santos wobbled Tony's knees twice in the first and third rounds, first with a left, then with a right. I don't think I have ever seen Margarito wobbled. Also, Santos beat the snot out of Tony in round nine before the stoppage on cuts. All I am saying is that Santos has the style AND the power to beat anybody at 154-IF he can apply himself.
