2012 Olympic gold medalist. 13-0. 13 knockouts. Obviously limited opposition this early on his career but has serious power, very fast hands for a heavyweight, good jab and fundamentals. 6'6" 235.

He has the tools to be really successful but I'm wondering about his chin. He's been KO'd before in the amateurs. And despite winning a gold medal, he's still new to the sport and has a lot to learn because he got a late start in boxing.

That said, I'd take him over Deontay Wilder right now.

I'm interested to see what happens with Bryant Jennings. Super athletic guy with very little experience and a great chin.

He & Joseph Parker are probably the 2 best Prospects in The Heavyweight Division.

Not impressed. Either this guy doesn't have the punching power some believe or some of those tomato cans in that video have hellacious chins. He hit many of them with clean open shots to the chin but it seemed to take several punches to finish most of them. Also, he keeps his hands pretty low and that'll get you beheaded in the HW division.

Mentioned him in the last Wilder fight thread

As someone said he did get Beat as an amateur but the guy who beat him is now 12-0 so fingers crossed we actually get some decent HW fights in the future
