    Not only is he slow/fast. He's also young/old.

    I doubt it. Just too difficult w/ politics and promoters doing **** to sabotage them.

    I doubt he'll ever be any kind of champion.

    Probably picks up one world title , then gets caught cold and KO'd in the first round like he did twice in the amateurs

    Who the **** even knows what that means any more? If you've got a WBA belt but there ere three WBA heavyweight champions, are you still undisputed? Some other weirdo calling himself world champion? And why are the WBA valid to count when they've had a dead guy move up in their rankings and recently listed Sergio Martinez as one of the world's best fighters at 65 but the WBF aren't? What makes that fair or reasonable?

    Undisputed is a crock.

    Lol!!! How old is he again??

    No. Imo too much young talent on the horizon and with age his already slow movement and reflexes will slow even more.

    He’s a good fighter no doubt but UNDISPUTED? Hell nah

    I agree he will hold a belt or two. No way he becomes undisputed though. Too old.

    Joyce can be Champion but not as long as Usyk and Fury have the belts, both of them have the ring iq and smarts to beat him. As for the others in the Division beating him only time will tell tbh .

    Can you explain exactly what you mean by "slow-fast", & how being a bit too fast can also be a problem?
    Do you mean that he is generally slow, but can unexpectedly accelerate at least hand speed sometimes, especially to damage or finish an opponent?

    EDIT: after seeing your last post, can you also clarify in which way he meets these seemingly contradictory definitions?

    Athletic/unathletic
    Stiff/agile
    Clumsy/graceful

    Thank you! :D

    Elephant in the room is that even if the alphabets would allow it he is too old.

    The promoters are doing everything they can to hold back the up and comers aside from Anderson and for some reason Dubois.
