I think Martinez would ruin him though
I agree it appears that way at times. So far its worked. Its like he has to fight that way. He's only got a 64 inch reach. That's very short for a middleweight. I think his style revolves around that.
Yeah he does have freakishly short arms. Compare that he's an inch taller than Mosley with a reach 10 inches shorter

Still, he needs to find a way to be more unpredictable. Obviously it will carry him a certain way, but he can't be doing that against a guy like Martinez or even someone like Kirkland who could feasibly trade with him there. I've often wondered if he couldn't make it down to 154, he doesn't look like he struggles to 160 although maybe that's part of where his power comes from.
