Badou Jack's Power Seems Inconsistent at 175

I don’t get that too, I have read like three threads now where Jack is supposed to be this monster. The jack I saw this morning is the exact Jack that I know, nothing more, nothing less. Not sure where people were getting this extra talented Jack from. Maybe they have never seen him fight before, or maybe they basically associate every TMT boxer to Mayweather sort of talent.

That's exactly what it is, marketing. You attach the Mayweather name and people think a fighter is now a prodigy. Look what they've done with Davis. What they did with Broner.
Then, reality strikes and they wonder, "what happened??"
Guys, it never "happened" in the first place.

He might be the biggest waste of talent in boxing.

You don't watch much boxing if that's the case. Badou is a hard worker, he isn't very athletic or talented. Biggest wastes of talent would be guys like Andrade, Broner, Russell Jr to a degree as he fights like once a year

Absolutely. Jack strikes me as a guy who is squeezing 110% out of what he was given. Fans have this idea that, somehow, these guys all have elite potential and if they aren't #1, they're failures. The guys we see on TV are the best of the best and Jack has made it really far without being a generic freak, without speed, power, technical wizardry. He has no real "gifts" other than being a hard worker.

A ped to increase his ability to take shots?

Uhhh yea just like a person who’s on pcp could get beat for a hour straight and still not feel anything. That’s what drugs do they alter things like strength awareness and pain
