    He always looks good against fighters he's supposed to beat but always looks like he needs to be pushed against the elite fighters.

    I'd rank him slightly above Ruiz but that's still debatable. Where do you see him?

    He's a good D.J. if you want to hire him for your post-fight victory party.

    He'll also bring the drugs.

    So, there's that.

    There isn't a HW picture to fit in cos noone is fighting (I mean proper fights).

    There's just a social media circus of non fights.

    He's nowhere near being in the heavyweight picture, all he can do now is try and rustle up one more good payday beating some 3rd rate fighters before he's knocked out in his cash out fight. Strangely enough a few years back I thought he had the boxing tools to give most anyone a run for his money. He never progressed like I thought he would, like he hit his ceiling or as I said before he never seemed to be able to get out of 3rd gear in big fights.

    High level Journeyman. Maybe fringe contender if he's motivated and moves out of his comfort zone.

    In all honesty though, maybe as a high level Journeyman, low level contender. If he puts a few wins together vs the likes of Whyte, Wardley etc. He may be in an unlikey eliminator.

    In the “Fury’s personal cheerleader” category.
