It is because he lacks the raw power of his dad that he has developed his boxing skills. His speed, accuracy and timing are his best weapons now. If he stays focused, keeps developing these attributes and is successful as he goes up the levels in opposition he could be a success. I still do not think he has enough to become a legitimate world champion but if he is manoeuvred right he could get a title.

Khan, the diva, has turned him down already scared he will get knocked out by an up and coming prospect. The opponents Conor named were all old fighters (Khan, Broner and Porter) at the end of their career which is about the right level and test for him now.

Conor did not mention Avanesyan and dismissed Josh Kelly for a reason. They would be too much for him at this stage.
