Well there probably is just a little bit of bias because he's British There has been a lot of hype around him over here since he won silver at the Olympics and then turned pro, but it is definitely justified.

He's a very quick boxer with very fast hands, and as a matter of fact after the fight, Don King, who was extremely impressed with him, actually likened him to the great Sugar Ray Robinson.

He's not the biggest by any means, and IMO all he needs to do is beef up a little bit and get more power and stamina before he challenges for titles, but then he's only 18 so that's going to happen naturally anyway along with his training. The skill and speed is already there.
