    If he's going to be elite, it won't be at 147 IMO. He's a tough kid(physically), he's got blinding hand speed and he's a great body puncher, but his defense and footwork simply aren't good enough to make up for his lack of power(at WW).
    Given the current landscape at 147, it'll be very difficult for him to look as impressive as he'll need to in order to meet Golden Boy's lofty expectations for him. If the goal is to make him a star, he needs to get his game face on, get disciplined and move back down to 135 and stay there for a bit. Plenty of big fights for him down there(Gamboa, Garcia, Burns, etc...)

    In addition...

    WAAAAAR MAIDANA!
