I seen this kid, he has it all, slick, black, skilled, defence, offence, the total package

he's only 16 but i'd pick him to demolish selby, lomachenko and the rest of those frauds

Probably his most important attribute.

He is pretty good. I hope Floyd doesn't try to rush him into a title fight prematurely

He has:

Good reach
Good height for lower weight classes
Good speed

This will help him a lot, the only problems I see arising is if he gains much weight and loses the height/reach advantage as he ages (but he's still at a favorable level). Not certain about what kind of power he possesses now and in the future, but that will be found out in a reasonable time.

He's very young, but he still has noticeable flaws that can be improved. I've only seen one fight, but he also comes off as pretty ****y. That's good and all in terms of marketing, but here's to hoping he doesn't let that get the best of him when he fights someone decent. He's young right now, and that alone will hurt him much if he thinks he can be like Floyd or Roy Jones Jr. right off the bat. Here's to hoping they keep building him along at a slow pace. 17 years old and needs to not be pushing his luck just yet.

Devin Haney is the next Floyd
