    No, his ceiling would have been a top 40 ranking.

    He probably would have been a poor man's Seth Mitchell.

    No... he was very limited.. didn't have Wilder level power... so wouldnt have had anything special to become champion.

    He could have been somewhat competitive though, but likely hampered by taking time off, not being focused... being mismanaged or something along those lines.

    Glass would shatter everywhere,and that's with that nest he had around his face in a sport directly at targeted the head .

    Much more suitable for MMA where he could use grappling, he roughed up Mercer good with elbows and knees ,this would be the way to go ,he wasn't so bad under Bas Rutten .

    Ferguson's chin was pure china, utter glass. Like someone said, he's a (very) poor man's Seth Mitchell. Mitchell would be seen as durable compared to this poser. Hell, AMIR KHAN has a better chin!

    No way. Not even a fringe contender. His chin is pure china. He wasn't even impressive for a late bloomer let's be honest. Browne started at 30, Ray Austin and Tony Thompson in their late 20s. I strongly doubt Kimbo didn't box or do something similar he was younger either. His cousin has been into combat sports his entire life.

    He'd have been a version of Jumbo Cummings
