    I know he's a little raw, but I think he will be a force when he gets a lil boxing under his belt. John Jackson has been training him a little bit, and he's a great trainer...

    Not good enough, the definitive pub car park, caveman brawler. He'll lose as soon as he steps up. The chap has zero defence. Him vs Tyson Fury would be a good fun fight to watch.

    I don't think he will be that great, not elite greatness but he could be a decent contender.

    Eh?? Canadian?

    I watch him on friday night fights last time it was on. He was getting tagged by some fat cuban slob. Just has power and I dont think he is gonna go far. I could be wrong but he isnt that good and flat footed.

    Decent enough fight! At least theres two guys with unblemished records willing to let it all hang out... Ive had a quick look at Pettaway, and he's a bit of a mover with a snappy set of hands and a high guard, I hope its a great fight...

    While I agree with you on the friday night fights bout he looked ragged, but I did say when he tidys up his boxing he will be a force, he has a such a clout on him...

    Right now yes, but as I said, if an when he gets some boxing skills he will do well, has all the attributes, and a so far, a great chin...

    I agree to an extent, but I feel he will do well once he gets some boxing skill.

    so far, magomed's power has been overwhelming to his opponents. pettaway can move and has fast hands with power. interesting match-up, indeed

    Good chin and power, what he lacks:

    Size: this is quite crucial in HW with all the massive HWs recently
    Boxing skills: footwork, defense etc, he has none
    Speed: Very very slow and plodding.

    Having only powre will not cary him too far.

    He looked like **** in his last fight. Some fat cuban bum rocked him left and right before that fat **** took a blatant dive.

    Slow, no defense , overrated power , but I'd pick him to beat Tyson Fury.
