I know he had at least a decent amateur career. He stopped Prescott in the first round, fought Maidana four times (lost three, won one).

Hes had the most significant talent increase ive ever seen at this level. Not basic skill or strength but will. He became a complete fighter combining all of the skills he had and creating a harmony with them to beat the competition.Comment
