Prospect Keith "Machine Gun" Tapia, Future HW Champ..

Not likely a heavyweight threat if he doesn't grow into his body -- basically still a 200-pounder. Let's see what happens when he fights a live body.

i dont see anything there. he'll probably get KOd soon with such a leaky defensewell he didn't have no promoter and those are some of his first fights as a pro, now he is starting to get fights and getting back in shape, plus he was a cruiserweight...

You are out of your mind. Tapia is good, but there is no way in hell that he beats Wilder or Joshua. They both would put Tapia on Queer Street. Wilder is the fastest heavyweight in boxing right now. If a Tomato can becomes a heavyweight champion like Povetkin perhaps, then I can envision Tapia becoming champion.Do u Really think Wilder is faster ?? HAHA well i wont judge u there no good videos of him, thats why i said lets wait, i think he can beat Wilder and Joshua, the kid got a real good pedigree in the amateur don't think he is a tomato can.

i dont see anything there. he'll probably get KOd soon with such a leaky defense He did get hit a lot, especially in the first video where he has the guy out on his feet and still, he is getting hit. He needs lots of work on that department but he is very athletic and has some good attributes too. HE just needs a good trainer and hopefully he can adjust.

He won't be beating Wilder any time soon though. He has a lot of talent but he's very raw!

Let's see how he progress but i think he can beat Wilder and Joshua, they more slower than tapia, besides Tapia got a pretty good footwork with fast combinations and good power too... let's see how everything settle, but i tap Tapia to be a champion in 2 or 3 more years.

looks too small and wild to meAli was 6'3, this kid is 6'2 and only 24 yrs old, he got a solid amateur career, anyways ill bring this thread back in 2 yrs or less.. lol

He won't be heavyweight champion if he has to beat Wilder, Joshua, or Klitschko, but out of all Puerto Rican prospects currently out there, in my opinion, this guy is the top Rican prospect out there. I think this guy would beat Joseph Parker, and would have a decent chance at beating Alexander povetkin.Let's see how he progress but i think he can beat Wilder and Joshua, they more slower than tapia, besides Tapia got a pretty good footwork with fast combinations and good power too... let's see how everything settle, but i tap Tapia to be a champion in 2 or 3 more years.

Will the Puerto Rican fans support this kid? Just saying because his a Nuyorican , and they have that Nuyorican vs Boricua thingoh yeah he was living in PR couple months ago, he is bilingual too...

I was on board until you went to Ali. Give the kid a break and don't compare him to the GOATi'm not comparing him with Ali lol, is the way he acts in the ring is like a young Ali... skills wise not yet, but he is fast as Ali with footwork like Ali, but I DON'T WANNA COMPARE HIM WITH THE GREAT ALI.

Nah what???? u gotta watch him, is really rare see a HW so quick and talented, he reminds me of Ali, i'm not saying this because he's puertorrican i'm just impress with his skills. I was on board until you went to Ali. Give the kid a break and don't compare him to the GOAT

Sorry, but there's not many videos of him, but now he is signed with Al haymon so we probably will see him more.

Looks decent, will keep an eye on him

I can't really assess how good he is based solely on that short clip but it looks like he has some speed and likes to let his hands go. Not bad
