    I've not heard his name mentioned much. To be honest, I wasn't a huge fan when he first came on the scene, but he's impressed me over the last 12 months. He's looking really sharp, strong, and confident at the moment.

    Does anyone think he could win a version of the title in the next few years?

    How good is he, and will he get better?

    Thanks.

    He did exactly what was expected no more no less and not vs a real killer of an opponent

    I think he might have what it takes to be a force but at the moment hes not on the level of the Wards Frochs Kesslers Stieglitzs

    Thanks for the reply.

    Yes, obviously he's been carefully matched, and he hasn't been in with a top guy. But I can see improvements in him.

    I think there's talk of him fighting Stieglitzs after a few more fights, either at the end of the year or early next year.

    How would you see that playing out?

    By the way, what did you think of Bellew? I know styles make fights, but I wasn't impressed with him. I don't see how he beats Chad Dawson, if Dawson's in the right frame of mind and has had a good camp.

    Yeah, I thought he looked pretty sharp. Entertaining style to watch too IMO.

    I think he would beat Stieglitz if they fought tomorrow.

    Agreed.

    I'm not sure what his ceiling is at the highest levels of the sport, but I'd be surprised if he didn't at least pick up an ABC title belt or two by the time he's done.
