Thank you Captain Obvious... All I said was that he needed more accuracy in his striking, which he does. But also that he's not likely to be that weak in terms of toughness, which should be fairly accurate as well considering his background coming from the WWE... that is unless you're stating that you are in fact a completely bias prick, then that's different. 
lol
