Thoughts on Rau'shee Warren?

A 3 time olympian with great amateur pedigree. Ive seen his rise in pros and although he lacks KO power he has some amazing skills. So far every thing seems great and i do think he will become a multi-weight champion though lack of power and too much slickness may not help him become a "star". What are your thoughts? Championship material? Next big thing? Hype job? Also ive seen comments about his looks so try avoiding that cuz A) not the point of the thread B) cuz indirectly you are really trying to tell what your dream man "should" look like, so no thanks.

He won't be a star or an attraction but he will be good. Probably get a trinket belt or two before it's all said and donw. Especially given today's landscape when there is glory being distributed all around us on almost weekly basis.

I think he can be pretty successful in terms of winning and losing, in those lighter classes you can get by without power. I don't think he will ever be that big of a star but he can carve out a nice career as long as he stays disciplined.

He is just ok.. At best he will have a cintron, gainer, David Diaz type career

He is OK Once he steps up in competition he will get run over And he needs to get rid of that pink dread. So dumb

I love his speed, people like flash so i think hell be a big name if he can keep winning. I like him Im not sure about the big name part because he hasnt shown KO power, but hes not mr i never get hit like rigondeaux either so makes him exciting for the average fan out there though i personally like slicksters.

I like to watch him when he fights. So far so good Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android Same here. He has slick skills and a solid chin. Also hes used to amateurs so he doesnt settle down on his shots like a professional but i think that may improve and hence his power. Not saying he'll convert in to vic darchinyan but enough to keep people off of him.

I saw him fight on the Lamont Peterson card. He was fighting a tomato can but he busted him up pretty well and dropped him once I think. He is fast has decent power but like everyone in band camp has weak footwork. I can see him working his way up to becoming a number one contender.

Hypejob. No power, questionable defense, questionable chin. Nice speed and skills but he strikes me more as an "athlete who turned to boxing" than a "boxer with athletic gifts"

A decent enough fighter, but I reckon his lack of power and sometimes sloppy defense will prevent him from doing too much.

Just needs more fights against quality fighters and he will without a doubt be a champion, maybe not top p4p but he will make some noise in the lower weight classes

Leaning towards hypejob. He gets tagged pretty badly in every fight for someone who's supposedly trains with a focus on his defensive background and he's extremely feathefisted And he has pink hair
