    I think right now his power wins over all this level opposition, will he improve his skills or do the Wilder and stay in love with his power? George Foreman was a powerful puncher but most don't realize George developed a great jab to set up his punches and he was underrated when it came to cutting off the ring. This guy needs both those skills

    Speaking of George Foreman, both younger and older versions professional boxer Foreman had an underrated boxing IQ.

    If Foreman was around today, he would still be a very dominant force, of that I have no doubt at all. I think he's slightly (naturally) bigger than Dillian Whyte but carries way more firepower. Imagine Daniel Dubois and Joe Joyce merging together.

    The older guys had a way bigger aptitude and appetite to learning the subtleties of boxing.

    Makhmudov is one of the top prospects in the heavyweight division. I expect him very soon in the Top 20, probably in the Top 10 in the future. He was a great amateur, a great score and in WBS 13-3, a very strong puncher and his place is in the top.
