Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: Abdullah Mason 'The Best I've Seen Being So Young; Unbelievably Poised'

[Eff Pandas]

Im not a Mason believer yet- get in there with someone like Tank and a promising young career will be wrapped

Come on man. Tank won't even fight peers these days so we don't even know how good he really is or isn't yet as wild as that is. So of course this kid is more speculation than proven, but the point being made is while theres still huge ground to cover before hes even a top ten guy what hes shown so far at 19 is beyond what a lot of past top guys showed us at 19.

I've seen a a ton of guys early on & very few on a high level & of those outside of a couple here & there (Frankie Gomez, Pegleg Benavidez & Bojado, for easy examples) a guy showing the skills Abdullah has shown thus far have had respectable accomplishments in their career.

Abdullah could sh^t the bed like Bojado, but he could be the next Floyd or Oscar too. Thats all us mfers on the Abdullah War Wagon this early are suggesting/hyped for. No one is suggesting hes gonna KO2 Tank or Shakur tomorrow. Hes probably 2yrs from fighting a top ten guy best case let alone a legit belt holder or tip top like Tank or Shakur which hes probably unlikely to ever fight with the era issues.
