Yep, he was a VERY tough inside fighter.. Roy Jones said he was his toughest win ever I think, at least as an amatuer.. And he always gave anyone he fought a good fight as a pro.. He had a truly great chin, and he could take a ton of punishment and was still dangerous at any time. He was a bit like JCC in that aspect, you had to be able to fight your ass off for 12 rounds and yet always be careful. If anyone remembers his fight with John David Jackson, one of the greatest fights ever imo.
