He'll become world champion for sure, the real question is how good he can become. Great? Maybe, likely if he works hard and doesn't fcuk around like Gamboa did
yeah can be the case he had over 300 amateur wins with 1 loss that he avenged. his first pro fight on boxrec is listed to be against jose ramirez who is 25 - 3 so thats a tough debut and will tell us a lot about him.
Hes rated at featherweight but his lat 2 tournaments were at lightweight so who knows
So the smart money would be on him moving up in weight as his career progresses but as you say ''who knows'' depends of what potential fights can be made - the quality on offer vs the quality he's showing ......... that said from his amateur career he looks promising and I dunno but I think that if your highly successful amateur its a sign your a great boxer and know your way around a ring .. got boxing I.Q. etc etc?
2 time olympic gold medalist, 2 time gold and 1 time silver world am champion and 1 time European am champion. Hes rated at featherweight but his lat 2 tournaments were at lightweight so who knows
