i meant to vote to early to tell. but to be honest right now it doesn't look good.

So far, I'd say his chin is pretty bad.

I wouldn't call it total glass. Probaly slighty above glass.

i said definitely because i think hes been dropped a fair few times now and not even by big punchers either.........

i think once he tangles with a katsidis or a pacquiao....BAM!!! he wont even move when hes lying on the canvas

My thoughts exactly, but if I had to go with one then I'd say it's very poor and he'll get exposed as soon as he faces a world class fighter.

Shame because he seems to have everything else needed to make an all time great.

It ain't too early to tell. he has time on his hands but was completely out of it against that feather fisted Scottish dude. He was GONE. And the guy isn't a puncher and a domestic level fighter. Gomez was no big hitter either. I would say he is **** and has a chin that has a Made in China label on it. Also, he has a problem with his beak. That must be contributing to it.

kessler, it is pure glass.

Hurrican72, you are joking right? He has a **** defence and is feather fisted himself. He is a bit sloppy, and was nothing more than a top amateur but so was Alan Minter, Audrey Gay Force Harrison and Robin Reid. Never mind what you heard on bull**** Brit propoganda TV. ATG my arse.

Not.

He got caught on the ropes and he ate 2 or 3 more of Gomez' hooks in the center of the ring and took em well.

Apart from chin he does have the attributes to be a great or even an ATG. Not saying he is or will be, just he has all the attribute apart from chin.

Defense isn't ****, sloppy at times granted but that can and will be worked on when he gets the right trainer. He is still learning, look at Lennox Lewis and the difference in what a fighter he was and became after ditching Pepe and then learning under Steward.

I don't listen to any bull**** propaganda, I watch and make my own mind up, sometimes I am wrong like anyone else, but I see the makings of a very good fighter, if only he had a chin.

He is fast, good footwork, can fight going forwards or back. Stamina seems very good, throws punches in bunches and has good power. His accuracy is very good at this level and I believe he will be accurate as he moves up in class and faces fighters that offer a better defence and more movement. He might not be a one punch knock out artist, but that doesn't make a great fighter. (See Floyd Mayweather)

Give him a chance, he is only 3 years into a very young career and too much is expected of him so soon, he needs to develop.

Lewis had power and didn't fall over against British level fighters with no power.
