I just read his comments about Wilder and Areola. I shamefully admit I know nothing about him. Is he good? Does he have the goods to back up his words? Could he be a future challenger?
he's big, strong, has power and some skills. he knows what he's doing in there. I think all of the titleholders beat him personally, they're all way more mobile imo.
His ceiling is higher than those two. He's a cool,confident customer, who ever beats him is going to have to beat his confidence out of him. considering the majority of "contenders" tend to gas, he's up there.
Duhaupas would be on him and likely get a stoppage. Washington could easily use his telephone pole jab and Miller could get near him. Punchers chance vs Washington, but Duhaupas would not get hit clean enough being the faster fighter.
Talks a good game, looks very rough around the edges to me but potentially early days. WAY too early to be calling out the guys he's been talking about, basically everyone he's made a big deal out of I'd favour fairly highly to beat him.
He lost to an old shot Mirko Cro Cop TWICE. I think it's safe to say his ceiling isn't that high. At BEST he's on par with Washington and Breazeale.
IMO even though he has fought **** he is americas best shot of a world title after wilder. he is raw/ fights at a low level /is not proven/ has poor weight control. plus side he carries the weight well / is strong /hits hard /big man /looks like he enjoys fighting /is not scared to take one to give one /looks a natural fighter to me / he would not lay down in a big fight but i suspect go out on his shield. i dont like his trash talk or personality / i think he is a ***** / but as a fighter i like what i see and think as i have said before he will be dangerous to every heavy out there in the future.
Never heard of him. Just did a quick google search, the guy weighs 270 lbs at 6'4. The guys is suffering from the same disease that have plagued so many American heavyweight.
