Jab was poor, defence was poor. From everything I have been told I would highly doubt he would have been able to turn it around to go on and become a top boxer. He was aware of that himself in fairness, he has made himself a fantastic overall martial artist and the boxing training has clearly stood to him, his head movement, his distance control etc are all there. It gives him a great advantage in terms of striking in the MMA world, but it would not have been enough in the boxing world where he would be fighting guys with two good hands, with just as good head movement, footwork etc there is no shame in that, it hasn't hurt him in life at all.
