    Well Is he???

    you'll see I've been championing him for 2 years on here, he is class...

    EVERYTHING a Boxer should be, fast, slick, sharp, fit, tough & resilent, damn near the full package.

    just a pleasure to watch, the way boxing & boxers SHOULD Be.

    Can he do it, is he a great in the making?

    thoughts.

    Hard to read the Munroe schooling as Munroe was long ago done for, but he does look promising.

    If only he could punch... :-(

    Not enough power for me, if he's not hurting below domestic level guys then he's not going to be able to keep people off him at world level. Good boxer though.

    I like the way he boxed but come on world level? He'd need to have a bit more power. Enough to keep people off him when he gets behind that jab like IB said.

    Very good fighter but not the best prospect in the country for world titles. He beat my cuz for the english title in a war of 2 unbeaten fighters. His got a great engine solid chin. Think him and simpson wud b a great fight.

    NO!

    it's a QUESTION, read it, consider it!!!

    the boy IS Pure Class and as good or better than ANY Prospect/Contender we've got.

    Will he make it remains to be seen. Will he get his chance, time will tell.

    But he IS what a boxer should be, lovely boxer, slick, clever and ALWAYS composed, vesatile and cagey, just excellent.

    More 'power' can be taught, so for my money he is a Very STRONG possibility, the best I've seen in a long spell.

    Power can't always be taught, some boxers have it some don't, while his power has improved he will never have enough to put a dent in world-level fighters. The fact is he didn't hurt Munroe, he outclassed him and Munroe called it a day when he realised that physically he hasn't got the same tools as he did two years ago.
