    saw him in the olympics, very sharp polished young fighter, controlled the distance beautifully and looked like he could **** too

    at 6''7 he will definitely fill out to a HW, maybe even before he has the chance to win a title at CW

      Yes he was in the olimpics. Yeah he will be a full size HW, like in a year and a hlf or so

        They just neeed to develop and polish those skills and he will be a real great fighter.

        But you know, anything can happend, but he looks like very good one in the making!!!!
        Ok, fair enough. So, standing at 6'7, is he lanky or athletic? Just trying to figure if he will stay in the LHW and Cruisers for some time or will go directly to HW.

          He is very athletic. I guess he will be a HW like in 2 years.

          I hope they develops him properly, he have a chance of being something special!!!!!!

            He will certaily move up in the LHW rankings quite fast, that division has grown kind of weak since Calzaghe retired and Hopkins moved up to challenge Adamtek. Besides Chad Dawson, who's left? An old Roy Jones? Tarver? If he becomes a legitimate beast, I will jump on his bandwagon for the sake of the HW division, we need a dominant champion there.

              Dude's very skinny. He's gonna need to add a lot of weight if he wants to compete at heavyweight. Here's one of his amateur fights.

                A video, thanks. He does move very well for his size. That technical side would be a pain to most current HWs, particularly that leaning guard that he does. Most heavies are just used to hit stationary targets, just look how dull the boxing of Peter and Chambers was.

                    Well good to see somebody else noticed his talents.

                    Yeah, Ive always thought Negron has that aura around him. With his size, he has showed great boxing ability and sometimes uses it to throw punches with his body weight like Roy Jones. Very nice boxer.

                    Its funny, with Cotto and Calderon having 10+ title defenses, I thought the olympic class of 2000 was the best class Puerto Rico would have for some time, but Juanma and De Jesus are threatening to change that, and just last month we had the first ever amateur fight between the world's best young 112 amateur fighter in Jonathan Gonzalez and one of the best olympic 112amateur fighter in McWilliams Arroyo.

                    Puerto Rican boxing is definetly getting better as the years progress.
