    He's actually 9-0 now. He beat an age 42 journeyman on Friday.

    His boxing fundamentals are okay, but he's not nearly as fast nor as strong as Itauma, who is the same age.

    How tall is he? He looks a bit small for heavyweight, looks more like a light heavy, but that could be perspective.

    well went pro at 17 (not sure about that comission) at 154.

    gets to 6'2ish and blows up. hardly jimmy ellis, but looks like he is filling out. though i think he is 'over-weight' in a literal term. think he should sit at cruiser for a bit. let himself ramp up to it. becasue fighting at heavy at 208 just screams he wants to eat through and get heavy money...and it doesnt always last long.

    Honestly, he looks like a journeyman at best.

    Lets exercise caution before labelling people who hasn't even beaten anyone in the top 300 a future HW champion.

    Its not a good idea to go down that route of buying a hype job.

    Big enough for it to work then, especially as he is young and could still grow. Yeah Cruiserweight is probably the best route for him, its less competitive and he will be more likely to win a title which would elevate his potential at heavyweight.

    Look at Okolie for example, he is about one fight away from a heavyweight title fight, it could feasibly be his next fight if Usyk drops the WBC. And he is only in that position because he was a titlist at Bridgerweight.

    154lb at 17 years old? So he's basically 6ft and a roided MW.
    He'll be destroyed at HW.

    If you look at the chin on him it’s non-existent.

    He is packing a glass jaw.
