    As the only male Chinese world champion around, is he considered a possible cash cow? He's very exciting, throws a bucketload of punches. If I could see him in a unification I wouldn't complain or maybe a fight with Carl Frampton. I just feel he's underrated and not sold well enough to that massive Chinese audience.

    How would you know? Are you Chinese? Do you live in China? Do you have statistics to back that up? Or are you just making an ass outta yourself making an assumption?

    He probably isn't half as popular as Zou Shiming was, although he's probably better p4p.

    He's not Zhong or Zou level big in China given the media reports, but his reputation is growing quickly. Expect him to fight at least once in China next year again to build his home market.

    As for Cash Cow China will probably struggle for a cash cow for a while given how the sport works over there, but he could be the guy that spearheads growth and develops the scene. He doesn't have the Zou Macau money behind him, but Chinese promoter Max Power Promotions have shown they have pockets if and when they need them

    Still makes me giggle thinking about how the WBO just handed Zou his world title.

    I thought Warrington wants to unify against him. Would be a great match if it happens.

    Yeah he's clearly a total knobend. I'm asking out of curiosity and out of a genuine liking for Xu Can.
