I see that he claims to have gone 20-2 as an amateur, although there is no mention of him winning any particular titles (which could then be verified) and I can't find footage or reports of any of these fights, which seems odd given his apparent success and famous name.

Typically the guys with little experience when they're nearly 20 show pronounced technical issues that stick with them, and have to rely on notable physical gifts (e.g. Wilder's power and length). It's not always the case of course, but I think starting late often lowers one's ceiling, and I wonder if he'll struggle to make serious technical progression (and he's starting at a much lower point than Eubank and Fury were).

Futher, and as others note, he is trying to fight too much like his father. He's looked the best to me when he's sticked and moved, and this approach allows him to better capitalize on his speed, which so far seems to be the only area which can be considered a strength for him.
