Santos' problem is his lack of motivation, not his level of talent. He has power and good head/leg movement. If he finally takes his career seriously, he should be a force in the 154 pound division. Let's think logically here: who is at 154 pounds that scares the hell out of anyone? The division is wide open and Santos definitely has a chance to have some good fights with anyone in the division.
CC,I agree. I thought Margarito beat him by a round,it was a close in Santos backyard. I think Santos is a decent fighter,and has a chance to make a name for himself. I think his weakness is his lack of motivation and lack of activity. He seems to be back on track now though.
