he already made an impact with his mere presence alone. now if he will find success.. hmm.. if he goes after the WBA, yes. the IBF/WBO, maybe. WBC, most likely no, although anything can happen in boxing.
Yes he will... not only because of his skill and punch, but because of his vulnerability.
He is beatable, but he can also beat you... and that always makes a fight interesting.
Yeah, I agree. Plus he has the mos obnoxious personality in a division of respectful gentlemen. You don't see much trash talking in the HW division unless James Toney is running it. This is the reason he'll get bigger fights than he really deserves.
If he had not pulled out of the Wlad fight, he probably wouldn't have made much impact though. Wlad would have knocked him out badly IMO.
