German to English translation of this sentence?

Hi, in a german dictionary it had an example sentance of "Er meint er sei ein harter Bursche" does this mean "he thinks he is a tough guy" or something else? If it means something else then please could you tell me what "He thinks he is a tough guy" is in german, and don't just use an online translator, because they don't normally get sentences right! Please only answer if you are experienced in german or are certain that you know what the sentence is! Many thanks xGerman to English translation of this sentence?
