    Anybody want to see this guy become one of the bigger names in the game, and if so who would you like to see him fight

    He seems pretty quiet and a lot of people don't know really much about him, who do you think he needs to fight/beat to start getting recognition

    Still seems like a Berto clone to me. I wouldn't be shocked if he wins a title eventually, but I doubt he becomes a big star.

    He's a nice kid. I only hear about him as a sparring partner for Pac, and never much about his own career.

    He's quite short for a LMW (which i think he is right ?)

    He's talented and comes to fight. Not sure how great he will be. But, I would like to see more of him. Put him in there with Mike Jones. That would be a good HBO or Showtime (non PPV) fight.

    A title does seem possible and in the future, but he would still need some good match ups for that star status

    Sup pun

    A fight with Mike Jones would be good for both sides, both guys are pretty much on that same level of known factor

    same

    yup, fresh new talent would help a lot and maybe (but most likely not :lol:) get folks talking about other things besides you know who and that other guy

    He is rightfully moving down to 147, but I don't see any power from him or any real technical boxing skill. Berto clone is an accurate description.

    Being from north east Ohio I'd like to say he has the goods, but I haven't seen them yet. I think it would take some very careful matching and some good timing/luck for him to have a title.

    He has too much of an up front style without the pop that needs to go with it. Good speed. Good skill. Good pop. Nothing is great and his style doesn't take advantage of any of it. He will find it especially hard at higher weights.

    I would love to see him at WW and working on his technical Boxing. I think there and as a pure Boxer and not a Boxer Puncher he would shine.

    Get him in the ring with Clottey or Berto. Lets see if he is all hype or real.
