    Ever be a contender at heavyweight and if so how long must we wait.

    The man is huge and in amazing shape (rare these days) seems to have power athough yet to be truly tested.

    Thoughts??

    So far he's fought a long line of cans. Until he steps up his competition a bit I can't tell if he'll ever amount to anything.

    I'd say he has all the tools to hold a heavyweight title one day. He is being brought along slowly right now but I don't see any reason why he shouldn't at least be a major contender in the next couple years.

    he isnt even fighting tomato can level fighters

    he needs to step up his level of comp or he will develop bad habits and regress

    the only way to get better in any sport is to be tested

    guy has a bronze medal he should at least be fighting guys like george linenberger or marcus rhode or any body he can stomp but atleast has a record of more than ten fights and can actually go 4 or 5 rounds and test his endurance
