    When my brain sees Teremoana i get flashes of Beterbiev and George Foreman. It's not a coincidence Teremoana is a 6'6, 280 pound Polynesian; he can take a punch as shown against Jalolov and has all the genes to be the next Juggernaut at heavyweight. Teremoana will surpass Tua and would easily stop Parker inside of 4 rounds

    I like Teremoana, but the amateurs and pros are two different kettles of fish. Audley Harrison and Vassily Jirov looked unstoppable as big amateurs and hit a ceiling in the pros. I think the jury is still out on Teremoana until we see how he can adjust mid-fight and that he can deal with a decent mover who doesn't end up concussed from the first clean shot that lands.

    He took some good shots against Jalolov, but he was also outboxed and there to be hit. He's also likely much closer to his peak than the likes of Itauma, who has the potential to grow into a much more complete HW. He's definitely a problem, though, and it'll be great to see how he moves through the levels. I'm a fan.

    I somehow see a new Joe Joyce, a fighter with exceptional power, a difficult opponent for anyone, but somehow I don't think he will be an elite fighter in the future...

    Let’s put him in with the twitchy Russian fella and see how he does.

    I love Teremoana but I think that it is still too early to tell.
    He has all the physical tools to be a force at heavyweight can't wait to see how he goes moving up the levels.

    Many are ejaculating prematurely over Teremoana. His amateur career was brief and his professional career so far, even briefer. Let's not get too excited until he has stepped up a class or two.

    Kinda reminds me of Cooney whooping up on Norton.

    Teremoana is packing Australian steel in both his fists & chin, so yes, it's a foregone conclusion that he will take over at H/W.

    World domination imminent.

    Given the mediocre nature of the next generation, he is guaranteed to do well.

    How many of the following throughly outclass him:

    Jalolov (and will he even be fighting?)
    Torrez
    Huni
    Anderson
    Gahdzimagomedov
    Opetaia (remember, he's a cruiser)
    Wardley
    Ituama
    Suslenkov
