is this guy the heavyweight saviour ? . -
He is still way to young to judge and he has yet to fight a live body.Comment

He is 20 at the moment and did very well as an amateur in Russia winning many awards and medals. I don't think he is close to Tyson's power and especially his movement but he is still a very hard puncher. I'd say at 24 he'd definetly surpass even Sam Peter's skill level and will be a major contender. At this time his promoter is just building up his confidence. He also has some growing to do he is small for a heavyweight and needs to gain some weight (well he's listed as 6'1 but he's like 210)Comment

why do you think his power isnt comparable with tyson's , he is knocking guys out in one or 2 rounds like tyson did when he was coming up the ranks .Originally posted by enadeusComment

He's got FAST hands and he can sure as hell can hit. Not Tyson like power, like enadeus said, but he can take guys out in short order once he's hurt them. I actually don't think he needs to gain much more weight. He doesn't exactly have a huge frame and he'll want to retain that quickness. I wouldn't want him to weigh more than 220.
He's definitely one to watch.Comment
