I think he is already significantly better than his older brother just given his amateur achievements. I don't think he'll be an atg or anything, but I suspect he'll win world titles and make a lot of money. The stevenson fight is the natural fight to make and will happen at some point. I think B class is a bit harsh, but it remains to be seen.
