So the smart money would be on him moving up in weight as his career progresses but as you say ''who knows'' depends of what potential fights can be made - the quality on offer vs the quality he's showing ......... that said from his amateur career he looks promising and I dunno but I think that if your highly successful amateur its a sign your a great boxer and know your way around a ring .. got boxing I.Q. etc etc?Comment

yeah can be the case he had over 300 amateur wins with 1 loss that he avenged. his first pro fight on boxrec is listed to be against jose ramirez who is 25 - 3 so thats a tough debut and will tell us a lot about him.Comment

He'll become world champion for sure, the real question is how good he can become. Great? Maybe, likely if he works hard and doesn't fcuk around like Gamboa didComment
