I just have a really good feeling about him being a success, more so than I ever did about Sexton, Rogan, Chisora, etc, etc.
He is 6ft 8, but for such a big guy he is fast and agile. If we have learnt anything from heavyweight boxing in the last 10 years, the bigger, taller guys have a distinct advantage if they play to their strengths. The fact he has that, plus some speed means he would trouble most heavyweights.
It has nothing to do with desperation for a new star, we have plenty of those in the making already, this was genuine talent spotting.
