    I seems this kid is staying SUPER busy and growing into the HW division very nicely. At 6'7 with an 84" reach and power in both hands, this kid is gonna do big things.

    He does have skill and does look exciting and talented. Hopefully, after three or four years he doesn't eat his potential away.

    At least Tyson has stepped up and fought decent competition for a start-out. Wilder is keeping busy knocking out bums. We'll see how he learns from that.

    as Teddy Atlas said, he needs to develope his left hand because right now he's a pretty one handed fighter but then again so was Pac when he was younger and look at him now.

    He's the thin one with that long ass reach right? Looked real impressive the one fight I saw of his. Excellent work rate, good finisher. Going to be interesting watching how he grows in the division.

    Hard to say, its a bit early to see how good he'll be and he hasn't fought anyone that would tell us much.

    I wouldn't call him thin, he's pretty jacked, but yeah he's like 6 foot 7 and has 84 inch reach
