    Can Fabio Wardley go far without amateur experience?

    Fabio Wardley has no amateur experience how far can he go as a Heavyweight? Whats the chances of him becoming a Champion and long term one ? Is the heavyweight division so bad a guy with no amateur background can be a champ ?

    Good chance of being champ, if Usyk emails him a belt.

    Little chance of being long term. A lack of amateur experience and limited pro fights means he hasn't accumulated damage so his punch resistance is high. The more hard fights and like Joyce or AJ, his jaw will get cracked and then he's cooked.

    The division isn't bad. It's just we're not getting the fights that matter. We're getting cherrypicks and can crushing exhibitions, marinating and outright ducks.

        He has about as much of a chance as Wilder. But when he steps up comp, he gets ktfo

            Won't happen with Usyk though. Hes way too smart, better pedigree and downloads in real time.

            Wardley fought a way too heavy Parker. He looked like he gassed out on the walk in lol.

            Usyk takes care of Fabio in 5 or 6 imho. Hes gonna make it look easy ala Dubois

              we shall see

              its a bit more interesting as fabiolo is a puncher on a good run, he prob 2nd in line after the german for a shot now but a fight with fab may pay more so the german might miss out his shot as a result, thats boxing

                He's unlikely to become master boxer. But boxing is about hoping your opponent can't take your punch and you can take theirs. So in that sense, Wardle y can go as far as his determination and grit allows him

                  If he gets whack with that right hand was landing by a heavier puncher don't know if he will survive it.
