    Yes he needs to tighten up his defense but his combinations and footwork already look better than Fury's and Helenius'.

    I see what you mean.

    He moves incredibly well for such a big guy, and plenty of power. I don't know his history. What's the chance that this guy might hook up with a top trainer?

    Still, he's 32, and only had 11 fights. The only opponent of his I've personally heard of is Bispo, and that's not too exciting. He might well run out of time.

    British fighter? Glass jaw waiting to happen.

    I kid. 4 questions. How tall is he and how much does he weigh? How old is he? Does he have a good amateur background?

    6'8 i think, in his 30's.

    he was lockedup during his 20's for kidnap or something like that, he boxed with the ingle briefly before that then recently made/is making a comeback.

    Pity he's 32, if only he was discovered at a younger age.

    Decent physical tools for a man in his 30's. Hopefully he's in his lower 30's, otherwise he's basically done when it comes to the world class level (Which he probably is anyway. But potentially).

    For some reason the name Michael Grant pops into my head. Early career.

    The jailbird has nice 'roided body that many gayboys here seem to value more than boxing skills. However, comparing him to actual professional boxer - athletes is ridiculous. He'll probably be behind bars again before he gets his first 10 round bout.

    He's athletic which is good, but because of his age, I don't think he's really more promising than Helenius or Fury.

    Looks real good, but with only 11 bouts, and none of significance I doubt he'll go anywhere. He's fighting a guy from Belarus with a 5-0 record against guys with a combined w/l record of 11-30.

    Not exactly flying up the ladder, but since he's a limey, he'll likely move into the top 30 after his KO of the 5-0 Belaruscan.
