Hate to break ballz brother, but that statement is condradictory "He is top tier no doubt"?But he is not impressive to you

You all forget...When was the last time Bernard Hopkins and Winky Wright got KO'D or involved in a offenseive gunfight or looked overmatched? I think it is impressive that this "kid" and "prospect" has 2 wins and a draw(controversial or not) against 2 Hall Of Famers Oh and By the way the 2 premier defenders(besides James Toney ) in the game the past 10 years and still is middleweight champion..

and he is just starting to reach his prime
Its not contradictory... He is top tier cuz he hangs with top tier opponants... that doesnt mean, because he can hang in a fight with the greats of our time that he should be on a pedistal above them. I want to see him rise as the new power in the div or see someone i.e. Wright, take it from him.
