That's fair enough. He does have things to work on which he admitted to. He will be fitter though come the 6, 8, 10 and 12 rounders.
And hey, he's a heavyweight in shape..I think we're too used to fat British heavies
I agree with your analysis about the speedier guys but by that time hopefully Larry will be more relaxed and faster himself as well as having improved timing to deal with the speedier guys.
It's early days...hard to tell how good any of the new crop of British heavyweights will be when they step up to a bigger challenge.
I just hope they all do well so that we can see some exciting domestic rivalries like the Benn-Eubank-Watson era.
