How good is he? Great amatuer.....In the amatuer he defeated Odlanier Solis.
8-0. And in just his 5 pro fight KO'd former European champion Matt Skelton. Takes on 32-6 Dominick Guinn next.
Could we have a big force at HW here?
For years I've been looking for another big heavyweight who is athletic like the Klitschkos, but I've been disappointed by Virchis (too slow) Dimitrenko (lazy and less athletic) Ustinov (absurdly slow for boxing) Rossy (not world class) and Fury (not really athletic).
The truth is: big men who have the kind of athleticism to be a top boxer are rare. There have only ever been a few: Vlad, Vitali, and Lewis.
Why have most of the great heavyweights not been huge men? Big guys tend to be slower.
But finally, there may be be another another big guy with some world-class athleticism and talent: Kubrat Pulev.
100% agreed.
I was like LOL the way he jumped into the ring in his last fight.
He's started a bit late, so the fact that he's fighting often, and against better competition is a good thing. I'm going to check out some of his fights.
