Ever since the Paulie fight the answer should be an obvious "no." He still has the promotional push and the fanbase, loved or hated, to allow him the opportunities to go out and do it. I just don't think he's nearly good enough to get that sort of anointment.
No,he got beaten fairly easy by Maidana,and there are better fighters than Maidana in and around his weight plus he isnt charismatic he's just a dickhead..
He's still young and he stepped up in weight too soon. He can become a star, he's certainly talented, but he needs to take a few steps back so he can jump forwards after that.
Like him or not the kid will bounce back this weekend. If by some strange intervention he performs badly this weekend I might reevaluate :hey :smoke
