    Given that he has beaten most of the best prizefighters. Sam Sexton et all. Yet doesn't have a go 'cos he's a Warren Fighter, plus Maccarinelli nabbed his opponent yesterday, leaving him with an overblown Light-Heavy, is this guy being overlooked?

    I must admit I've never seen him fight.

    Looked respectable the times I have caught him in action. He's still relatively young and it will be worth keeping an eye on him.

    I wasn't aware of all the politics surrounding his bouts and what is the story with him coming from Zimbabwe originally? Is he a recent arrival in England or did he grow up here?

    I dont rate him, he's boring as **** to watch and thinks he's alot better than he is.

    He looks pretty decent but needs to get in better shape as his career progresses. I think he should be put in with Rogan next, alot of fighters seem to bottle it when put in with Chisora.

    Seen him 1 or 2 times i think, seems to switch off sometimes but has gotten the job done so far, needs to be upped a level.

    He is decent, has beat some good competition early on in his career, needs to trim down though and step upto english title level or something, a rematch with sexton would be good.
