Jared Anderson ...Next American HW Champion ??

Certainly looks the part if his last few performances have anything to go by.....real demolition job against Forrest the other night.

Won't be able to judge properly until he's been in there with a top 15-20 guy.

Bakole/Wallin both would be good step up fights for him.

 

We should see his chin and skills against Top 20 guys.

He gets hit quit easily, that's a big minus for someone who has ambition to be the champion.

 

What kind of PED testing was there for the Forrest fight (if any)?

He looks good, but he's never fought an opponent who hits hard. Forrest has some skills, but isn't a big puncher - what if a big puncher lands flush on Anderson, like Forrest did several time in round one?

I'd like to see him face some fringe contenders like Hunter, Whyte, Chisora, and Parker or someone who can punch hard like Dubois.

 

Maybe. He has talent (size, speed, fluidity, mean streak) but lacks a lot of refinement. He really needs to learn how to block,slip and parry shots instead of just leaning back. That will get him KTFO @ HW. Also needs to learn how to box off the backfoot.

 

I'd like to see him against Frank Sanchez

 

Let him beat someone in the top 15 rankings.

 

It’s the HW division that question can’t be answered until he start facing and taking punches from top 15-17 HWs.

 

Too early to tell but this fight was good step up and a good performance

 

Hes good. I'd like to see him against Dubois.

 

Pretty much what I think bro. From here on out he's gotta keep stepping up, Ajagba would be a good fight for him next.

 

I would love to see Anderson vs. Hrgovic, it would be an even fight and both would definitely agree to such a fight, but everything would still depend on their managers...

 

Notes on Anderson: Looks good offensively, gets hit flush a little too much, impressive how he took out Forrest, let's see how he does against the next tier above Forrest.

 

,,",but lacks a lot of refinement,", that is the perfect explanation in my opinion of Anderson at this point. I'd like to see him more active even if it's against lower level competition then take on someone like Wallin who has a name . He has as you mentioned defensive lapse's that will get him in trouble if not corrected but he also has an offensive skill set that is vicious when he lets it loose. If a top 10 contender fights him they better do it soon before he hones his craft.
