    How far does he go?

    Looks pretty damn good on the front foot. KOed in the amateurs, beat Parker in the amateurs as well as being an Olympic gold medallist.

    I think he'll be crashing the top 5 in a few years when the likes of Ortiz, Pulev and Povetkin retire.

    Most who followed him as an amateur seem to agree that he is a spectacular KO in the making.

    He's got decent fundamentals and a very good left hand that will confuse a lot of the boxers currently there. I agree about the knock-out waiting to happen though, he's going down to some of the big punchers in the division. He'll have a decent chance of out-boxing a few of the smaller light hitting guys tough, that's why I think he'll crack the top 5.
