Is it safe to say Tevin Farmer is a prodigy?

Tim Duncan never touched a basketball until he was 15 and that was only because the pool was closed that day (was a swimmer.)

Haha reminds me of Dmitry Pirog. Was going to his chess tournament and walked into a boxing gym by mistake.

I wouldn't call Tevin a prodigy. Unless he becomes one of the topten boxers off all time like Tim is at basketball.

Give him some time to develop. He's not gonna be top 10 but he'll get far.

never heard of him...

Watch some of his early and latest fights. His level of progression in such a short period is amazing.

I've never seen him fight aside from one highlight video, but i've seen some people hyping him up a little, saying things like Gervonta Davis isn't ready for him or something like that. What fight should I be looking at that shows he's so great? I think maybe some guys are overrating him a little bit maybe? 5 KO's in 29 fights? He moves well, but I think we should wait until he steps up again because the last good fighter he faced he lost by stoppage.

Interesting how people think so highly of him. I don't see it but then maybe i'll be wrong. Looks like when he faces someone who time him he's going to be in trouble.

I honestly can't understand a word that Tank says and I speak ebonics. I've tried to watch all of the new videos.

Agreed. Kid has some skills, but so does Tank who was a very good amateur and is also a southpaw. And as some have pointed out in this thread Philly guys tend to be better at smack talk than the fight game, ie jesse hart. I'll stick give Farmer a good shot cuz he's slick as fuŠk

I'm always first to state how power is overrated.

But his skills can only get him so far, the kid has Malignaggi power.

I think he has the potential to make Tank look bad for a few rounds but eventually Tank will walk through him.
