I don't care about his attitude etc. He's a cheesy gimmick stuck on stale punch lines, bit like a toddler throwing a fit in the middle of the store in order to draw an audience. He has some ability, but I really do think he's a flawed fighter in some regards and once someone forces him on his heels he can be sparked.

Welcome to the forum btw.
The fact that he could have been a 4 division champ if he had stopped at 140 does say a lot but he didn't invent the system and I it's just a fact he's not in his prime but he's still better than most boxers between 135-147 so it's unfair to call him a prospect.
Woulda-coulda. All it says is that he cherry picked a trinket from a guy who got beat up by Cano much worse. Lets not get it twisted. He skipped 140 cause it was more attainable with less of a threat, unless he wanted to pick the trinket off the bones of a destroyed Peterson. Who's says he is a 100 percent certainty over a Vazquez or Abril at 135?! Not me. He better "improve" quick and find a defense if he even dreams of 147 cause apparently his pop hasn't arrived from the trip up. I think all three beat him off his recent goes.
