It's not that I think he can't be something, he just hasn't shown anything at all. His fight against Varakin the commentators were saying beforehand that it needed to be a real breakout fight for him, that if his career wasn't going to come to a standstill he needed to look good and get him out inside two rounds, which Skelton, Chagaev, Sanders and around 8 others had already done.Originally Posted by amat
The result was that it was a pretty even fight for 5 rounds and the commentators were becoming embarrased for him.
He ended with an impressive knockout but it was very much like an early Audley Harrison fight. He looked equally lethargic and unispiring last time out on the undercard of the Moorer and McCall comeback show.
He could be something, but right now I think he's young and more interested in partying really, as his ever expanding waistline seems to indicate.
I'm not ruling him out for the future but in 5 years he's come on about as much as Harrison did in his 5 years upto the Williams fight.
A glimmer here and there, but at no time could you say, 'Hey that was impressive'.
