    Thought on Shu Shu? Does he have the goods to go far and perhaps become great? He’s talented and has potential. And he’s also been pursuing for a Naoya Inoue showdown in the future. Let’s see if he can beat a top fighter at 126 and win a belt first.

    I think he’s talented and has some potential. Worth keeping an eye on.

    He reminds me of McCallum, his frame, gate and style a bit. Not saying he'll have anywhere near that level of career, mind you

    Like his style. Doesnt seems like a super talent though. He seems to likes to fight in the pocket, and gets hit a lot. I wouldn't be surprised to see a pucher blast him early

    Neil is correct. You can see McCallum in his style. Obviously, he isn't a fraction as talented as McCallum, but I see the style similarity.

    I dont really see it. He seems like a more aggresive pbf, with the clam shell and right hand counter off the shoulder roll

    Agree. I don't see it either.

    That kids fights nothing like in Floyd's style.

    Far more similar to McCallum.

    It's not a hill I'm gonna die debating on. He doesn't have the talent of either.

    Give Shu Shu his title shot. He’s more than ready to take on Ball, Espinoza, Leo, Fulton. Perhaps at some point we might even see an Inoue fight down the road.

    Interesting prospect as he's definitely talented and well schooled. However, talking of fighting Inoue is just dumb at this point of his career

    Hes older than Stevenson so they need to move him immediately even if he's not ready for a guy the level of espinoza. He looked like shit vs segawa

    I see talk of fulton moving up to face foster so if that happens Carrington is in line for his vacant belt
