    I don't care what grade you got on your algebra homework. This is a boxing forum.

    Haven't seen him box yet, but that 88 inch reach is devastating for opponents, certainly as he seems to have power too.
    It's one of the most underrated tools to have in boxing.

    But he first has to fight someone of note. Maybe he has Price's chin and/or stamina.

    He's one to watch, big guy, in shape, solid fundamentals and seems to have power, plus that reach. But too early to know if he'll make it, he seems a little raw and basic, will need to show more before we start getting excited about his prospects.

    African/ Nigerian Heavyweight world champions are Henry Akinwande (WBO), Herbie Hide (WBO), Samuel Peter(WBC) who necks lol, Anthony Oluwafemi Olasheni Joshua(WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO). Emmanuel Steward foresaw the domination from Eastern Europe/Russia old Soviet Union and Africa with the decline of American Heavyweights.

    Id fancy him against pretty much anyone outside the top 15 now to be honest. He already brings that fear factor into the ring as he's such a specimen with a look of a Somali pirate captain about him, he'll win most of his fights before he even steps through the ropes ala Mike Tyson.

    Daniel Dubois doesn't quite have that aura about him, Hrgovic is a little inconsistent and Gorman is still developing his power. This guy definately passes the eye test so far, interesting times ahead.

    Why people count Joyce as a prospect? The dude is like 33? Isn't he?
