    I know its VERY early days but I´ve noticed the British seem to be particularly riding on this guy to make some big noise at heavyweight.


    Potential or just typical UK hype created by ´The AJ Effect´?

    He has a nice jab and his power seems legit. No head movement though and moves in straight lines.

    He can punch and I don't think he's as robotic as people think and is quite fluid, well, more so than say David Price, but as Slice pointed out, he's very straight up, straight down with no head movement. I can see why people are comparing him to AJ.

    yeah, he's cut from the same mold as AJ. Decent hands, and great power. But no craft and movement

    He's similar to AJ but probably not as good. That said, if he can beat some of the contenders, he's a welcome addition to the heavyweight landscape.
