He does own above average punching power and a good beard, but will never sniff serious consideration as a top ten heavyweight.

I agree with what you said with respect to heart and the ability to adjust. The only point I was making, in the parenthesis, was my opinion that Guinn had better technique. Unfortunately better technique doesn't get you far if you aren’t mentally tough and able to adjust. So your point is right on the mark.
