    The kid has a great story was a top amateur and is a promising professional.
    Will he be the young lion that steps up and takes out Golovkin in a couple of years?

    I don't think he'll be quite that good, but I'm bullish on his prospects. I don't see why he couldn't develop into a top contender or ABC titlist at the weight.

    Good prospect, been matched fairly tough for his stage of career.

    I put him on the same level as Eubank Jr around now.

    The next year will show whether he can break into the top level or not

    No. He's to hittable. And he's not the monster you wud hope for. But I do like watching him fight and wish him the best

    I like watching his fights. He is having a good career and thats all anyone can ever ask for. He doesn't need to be the best anything. Just the best he can be.

    Not sure he can stand against the best though. No shame in that.

    Douglas returns to action next month against Aussie drug cheat Sam Solibum, will Douglas do better than fellow prospect Wade and decisively beat Solibum or will Douglas be another victim of Solibums spastic gorrilla fighting style?
