This kid looks very promising although he hasn't turned pro.....he's tall and he seems very patient and talented for his age.He's only 17.Here's a clip of him sparring Porter:

The differnce is that most of these young cats are all flash but he's one of the few who looks like he's already a vet. He looks like he was brought up with the fundmentals and is very calm in the ring. He's tall and he uses all of his height. I love that. He's tall, uses all of his height, and starts everything with the jab. I love that. He does all of that and uses the Mayweather style D and genuinely seems to love D instead of disregarding it like so many others do. I love that. Then he's getting top notch trainging & sparring at a very young age. You cant beat that. Like you said, many have come but only the chose few make it but this kid seems to have the goods in every way possible. He might not even have that Southpaw problem that so many have if he gets to train with Pac more
You make some very valid points....not only does he look naturally talented but he has a good support team.His father is there with him which should help him during the rough times.You can't beat first class sparring partners.....and who better than the best fighter in the world and like you say a southpaw.Pac can really push him and show him what to expect in the big league.Khann is fast and that can definitely help him when facing fast fighters.....Roach is one of if not the best trainer out there.
And he's getting all this at a young age so you know he will be ready when he decides to become a professional.And now that you mention him him loving the D, you know your boxing bro because that is exactly what he said in one of his interviews in Spanish when he was younger....when asked what his style is he said something along the lines of "If I fight toe to toe I get my shots in but I will get hit too...my style is hit and not get hit...I'm a boxer" that was when he was 11 so you know that he is a true natural boxer that worked on his defense at an early age.
I really see something special in this kid...seriously, he seems so natural unlike many of the so called "next stars".He is very well spoken and seems very humble......I can't wait till he turns pro!!!!!!:boxing:

So many have come, but only a tiny few have made it.
I wont look much into him, except when he takes on a big name.

Its there for him if he wants it. If he's as good as he looks then he could be the next Oscar, seriously. He has that type of look, personality, fighting ability, and he will be consigned by guys like Roach, Pac, Naz, and Khan who will make people want to see him
He will be one of the next stars. Also, whoever said he wouldn't beat Khan is daft. The guy is twice the size, has slick head movement and controls the fight very well.
Being only 17, not even a pro yet, he has a huge future. Hope he starts to keep his hands up more though.
Seems really good I can definately see that he's making full use of his height and reach advantage. He maintains composure too not bad, I'd definately like to see more of him.
