    Pfft he's fought nobody. I don't see what's so special about him at all.

    Yarde more then passes the eye test and we know the power is certainly
    there. Say what you will about Sjekloca but he had never been stopped before, and he had been in with some top operators in C Smith, Abraham and Bika but Yarde got rid in brutal fashion.

    There are a lot of questions to be answered, but I’m hopeful we have something special on our hands but time will tell

    They need to get themselves some corn rows.

    "Mayweather, Tyson and Roy Jones Jr." ... might be code for "He beats women and is on steroids".

    Maybe. Possibly. Allegedly. j/k

    Joshua can look very intimadating but this guy looks straight out of a boy band, he's probably been through atleast 10 pen1s pumps in his time. And is he really 6ft? cause he looks about 5 10" to me. Be funny if he turned out to be a killer :godsdrink0nw:

    Big puncher but unproven on chin , stamina and heart.
    Will most likely grow into a CW which is a full of talent.
    Former big punchers with plenty of hype like Nigel Benn and
    Frank Bruno went onto become World Champions and had
    quite a successful career.
    I doubt he will reach the levels of these two but i would be happy
    for him to prove me wrong.

    Hasn’t he been around for years but never known him to have anyone top draw so maybe this is his dream so let him say what he wants it makes no difference come fight night and that’s the only time we will see if his prediction is true. Personally I think Yarde will get found out at soon as someone takes his best shots for 5/6 rounds and doesn’t go down. Also no one knows what muscles that chin might have!

    He’s getting hyped because BT/Boxnation need someone to hype, he is more media friendly than billy joe etc

    I’m not buying it personally.

    Also, like Moog said not into the way warren have worked the wbo rankings to get him “top 5” by facing mostly super middleweights

    Yarde hasnt even been in a fight yet.
    theres loads of important questions that havnt been answered yet.
    Ok so he stopped sjekloca but how big a deal was that. I suppose u can say he had never been stopped before but as others have mentioned, sjek is a smw whos 39yrs old, miles on the clock and pribably little desire left.
    I do hope that people are pulling yarde to one side and telling him not to believe the hype

    Put him in with a top 15 LHW and let’s see what happens. Or let’s even put him in with a top 25 fighter and see how he does.

    I think him and Buglioni need to fight each other.

    Tundi is deluded or taking some strong stuff but he’s been around longer than Boxing itself so this is his one and only money ticket so don’t blame him for chatting bolox.

    he should wear Ali's shades too, just to round things up.
