    I think he is a decent prospect but i feel many British fans are overrating him because they want! him to be the new Naseem Hamed. I dont think he is that good or has that kind of talent.
    which fans are these?

    I know I haven't compared him to Naz.

      he is only going too improve,he can go a long way imo


      I dont think he is likes! to put pressure on. I think its been a necessity in a few of his fights because they were Southpaw's..............McIntyre, Lomax, Elwell

      If you watch him against Barrie Jones he waited and played counter puncher.

      Ive only seen these fights of him so i might be wrong about his style.

          i think he is still finding his style somewhat

          his competition hasnt been that strong so he has been able too mix it up and see what he feels good with imo

            good prospect,has ko power in both hands but still hasnt fought a good level boxer,hes got jennings next and that will show us how good he is,jennings is not great on world level but european level he is very good,cotto got rid of him in 6 rounds so he can take a few punches,kell brook kos him under 6 and ill be very impressed,hes does leave his chin to be hit sometmes but he will get better with experience and he has brendan ingle in his corner,so he should do well,as far as world champ goes,not sure,hes in a very hard division at the moment.maybe in a couple of years but even then it will be tough because most of the lww at the moment will be ww by then and they are all very tough fighters aswell,i wish him luck he will always have a punchers chance at world level

              What's the consensus among Brits? Are people predicting a win?

                Man! ive heard lots of Brits exaggerate on how good a prospect he is, a few on here and on ****side.

                He is a decent prospect but no more than American prospects like Joe Greene, Danny Garica who are less heralded.

                  i think he will beat jennings but it is a solid test and a good measuring stick too see how well he is progressing

                    I fancy Brook by decision, if he stops him within 6 rounds then I fancy him to go all the way, seeing as Cotto beat jenning in 6 and Jennings can take a dig.

                      Danny Garcia's going to be solid. Guy has some nice raw power and good finishing ability. Very impressive young fighter. Throws blistering combinations.
