    Quality fighter. He knows where he is going and looks the part. The Boo Boys will disappear.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    He comes across as cocky and smug which does not go down well in the UK.

    I am sure the fans will warm to him if he starts to prove himself at a higher level.

    That old Olympic medal just doesn't seem to cut the mustard in terms of mixing it I suppose....That must really be the legacy of Audley Harrison for boxing in the UK, making people doubt the quality required to win Olympic gold.

    Just like other unpopular fighters, success can overcome where their attitude can grate with some people, although I'm not convinced that he's not been somewhat misrepresented in his portrayal in the media.

    well the amateurs aren't the pro ranks and I repeat to say you will be world champion and you're better than the other ex-olympians before you've had your first pro fight is a tad premature on the whole folks in the UK don't like that attitude regardless of a persons ability.

    If he proves to be quality then good on him, just keep your mouth shut.

    Think a lot of people question the ability to have it. He got beat a few times against people at His level and went missing in those Fights. Frankie Gavins is the one, spent time with Him one nice Kid, as funny as Fuck and has a love for what He does, always asking questions with a smile. Plus Him and Arnie Gell.
