    Move back down to middle and make sure you fight nobody with a jab.
    He can be an exciting B level guy. Has good Chin and decent athleticism but lacks skills and fundamentals.
    Good crossroad fight Lemieux vs Eubank

    Make sure you only fight dumb fighters who stand there and let you hit them like Spike & Blackwell.

    I'd like to see him against Gabe Rosado. Rosado could probably outbox him too.
    If he's lucky he'll pick up a role in the next rocky/creed movie. He'd be a good movie fighter I believe.

    This. Number one is drop down to middle so he's not giving up a size advantage. Number two is to cherry pick opponents the way he did in all his fights beside BJS and Groves. He will never be an elite boxer but he is entertaining and he can make plenty of money through giving certain fans want they want, entertainment.

    I like that fight. That's more Eubank Jr's level.

    Golovkin! Then Saunder, then Canelo, then Charlo! Then retire.

    Yeah, a trainer would help a bit, but how much? He's been trained by an arguable hall-of-famer for 10 years. the guy just doesn't have any coordination. He is what he is, a tough brawler.

    Real trainer, or look really pathetic. He will chose the later because of his upbringing.

    He's still young and raw. Not writing him off yet but a lesson tonight for sure.

    Wonder how much of it is his own fault too. Does he even listen, kinda like the Chaves Jr.

    Both are son of champions, shows signs of greatness, but lacks discipline. Both can beat the run of the mile guys at their weight but slaughter against the top tier.

    He has no long range game whatsoever.

    He has lost against the only two skilled long range boxers he has ever faced. Stepped up twice, lost twice.

    He has simply been exposed at long range- and I think at 28 he is what he is. Could sneak a strap against a weak champion, but will get beaten everytime he faces a skilled long range boxer.

    Agree to a degree, but at 28 he will aim to come back.
