they're trying to put him in there with guys who can go rounds with him, and he's getting knockouts without learning much. it doesn't do a ton for him. they're obviously scared to put him in with somebody who can beat him. he's got so much potential, has learned so little, and has so much more time to learn, that it would be a disaster and a huge mistake to match him extremely tough. i've gone through the HW top 50 and i can't see too many guys who fit the bill myself, but i'm certainly no matchmaker.
i still think he'd lose and look bad against a top 10 guy, even though the era is so weak. all he's got right now is his big right hand. that's world class. that's one of the gnarliest punches i've ever seen. it is scary when that thing lands. otherwise he's a novice, and he fights that way.
they're matching this kid too soft, but it's better than putting him in tough early and having him lose. he's an american HW with a huge punch. there's a void there, and if he can fill it he can make millions of dollars. millions. money that doesn't even seem real to guys like us who work regular jobs.
