I thought the Brit was a big galoot. A goofy, plodding Neanderthal. But I have seen some more of him recently and read up some more about him- his hands are above average for a heavyweight in the speed department, but a little slow on defense. May win a trinket if the opportunity presents itself, but may never be unified or undisputed champ.
I did read up that he fought Joyce in the amatuers and it was between him and Joyce to go to the 2020 Olympics. I didn't know that. So he has some good background to him.

He may have more upside than the American superheavy, Richard Torrez, who I have little to no faith in to do anything substantial.
