I think he's got genuine world title class in him, if he does things right.
He's a good technical boxer, has a goot strong jab, and a fair amount of power. He also has great attirbutes, in terms of height and reach to be a real success as a heavyweight. However, I think the real proble lies in his conditioning, Barry Mcguigan said before hs last fight that he would never be 'body beautiful' I think that's a load of rubbish, if you work hard you get a better body, a better level of fitness and strength would serve fury well, he can already take a punch pretty well- evident in his amateur days, and with iproved fitness his recovery time would be better when he does get hit by a better class of opponent than he has faced up until now.
A british title fight within the next 9 months seems about right, but I would then go on to say I can see him fighting at EU level within a year and a half, with a world title shot coming within 2 and a half years, If he works harder, improves his fitness and strength, and continues to improve technically, as he is doing, the sky could be the limit for him, I think he'll go far with the right attitude
