    I think it won't help him much. I have seen how he was destroyed by Norris and Francis, so no :-(

    I remember Pele Reid, he had quite a lot of hype at the time as he was from the Ingle stable and knocking everyone out. Reid and Danny Williams were the young British heavyweight prospects that people had their hopes on.

    Reid was clearly an impressive physical specimen and hit very hard but he didn't have the skills or durability to ever be more than a dangerous journeymen. The Ingle style did him no favours, you need reflexes honed over many years to be effective like Hamed, Graham and even Nelson. Being a novice to boxing meant he was just a KO waiting to happen with that style.
