      That's an odd statement -- we all learn things we are missing, that's the point of learning.

      You just don't like the guy, you're not being objective. He has potential and it's what he does with it that matters.
      I objectively don't like what I've seen from him in boxing terms. Slow hands. Slow feet. Poor coordination. He's missing those things. He ain't going to learn them. He can improve the technique for what he's got but he's already creeping towards his ceiling. He has the potential to be a really tall loser against fighters with a pulse. We'll see if that describes Chisora soon.

          I like Helenius too of the bunch and there is the raw potential for more. He gets that hook over and quick for a big man. His fluidity is almost more like a hoops guy. Mike Perez has a lot of good ingredients but his weight is already fluxing and he hasn't faced much more than a mall mannequin so far. Those two at least pique my curiosity to see what if.

            Agreed he has the potential to become the new Tye Fields!

              Well, you've got it set up so that if he loses vs Chisora he proves your point, and if he wins it just means Chisora is a bum.

              So like I said, he can't win with you.

                  He probably can't win against good fighters either. Just wait. You'll see.

                    Heres a 22year old Magomed Omarov beating Olympic GOLD/Bronze Super-HW Champ Roberto Cammarelle at the recent euro's:

                    he is ~195 CM and has good foundation/base, lets see if he can win at the olympics.



                    I wonder who will go to 2012 Olympic games for Russia? Omarov or Sergei Kuzmin? They both won the euro's, they should have a Best of 5 fight to see who goes.

                      I think the jury is still out, but he has promise ... a week from today, one of us will be right.
