He had no amateur career, I think his trajectory is understandable.
I agree, that's why he has to take this fight. He's been a pro for 7 years, averaging 6 fights a year, he's 24 yrs old and should be at his peak of fitness and he has enough ring experience now to take on someone like Cotto. Does he have the abilitiy to win? That is the unanswered question.
