these super tall guys often strike an imposing figure but once the fighting starts there rarely any good. there coordination is usually awful and you dont see the amazing athletic abilities that are often associated with basketball players of these sizes. i dont know if its the size itself that makes it hard for them to be good boxers, or maybe its that the super tall guys tend to start much later and hence miss out on important early schooling and experience
but he will certainly make some noise if he hits the canvas

Looks like a less-talented version of freakish Nikolai Valuev.

He's only 24 so he's very young in Heavyweight terms. But he looks a bit slow and stiff to me.

I saw another vid of him later than this. He actually looked palatable.
