    Not watched any of nights fights for more than 20 seconds due to his ugliness in the ring. Whats so good about him?

    He looks clumsy, feather fisted, awful jab, no combinations, no snap in his punches. rotten conditioning.

    Why do people think he is all that?

    I didn't say you had to like them. I'm just asking if you hate them on sight and without putting a moment's thought into it. Guess you aren't just a troll but a racist troll as well.

    Early on, he was exciting to watch as he really went for it. He was a come forward fighter who gave up his height to exchange in close.

    This made him fun to watch, but it also made you think that he wouldn't be able to compete with top level heavyweights as he was often open a lot and he could only fight in one way.

    He then started to use his height and brain a bit more and didn't just plow in throwing shots with his chin in the air.

    In his last two fights against fringe world level opponents, he has shown an ability to fight of the back foot and to fight southpaw effectively. This has made his fights less exciting if you are only into come forward, brawling type of fighters, but it has made him more of a complete fighter and harder to beat.

    At the end of the day, the guy is 6'8" - 6'9", can fight at long, mid and short range, has a decent chin and decent power and appears to have a bit of a boxing brain.

    At the minute I can only really see Wlad, Wilder and a fit Haye possibly beating him. Unless I have completely miss-read him, then Povetkin and Pulev may stand a chance, but their lack of height would probably hold them back. Obviously this is only theoretical as he hasn't faced a genuine world class operator yet, but, I do feel he will be a world level fighter.
