Never seem to hear him talked about very often. Always about Fury, Chisora, Price. Even Lewison and Audley get more mentions.

Why is this?

He has a good record - won 18 (KO 10) + lost 0 (KO 0).

I don't get it.

I think he's neglected because he's from the Highlands and had hardly any AM experience. Isn't massively talented and doesn't shift many tickets or have much personality and is also part time or was.

Unlike others i do see he has some talent. But he needs to settle down further down south and get regular access to quality training and sparring.

I like that he's quite comfortable in ring (body language) and also he moves well for a big man. Technically not awful neither, not great but could be worked with. I wish him all the best..

There's a plenty of fighters in the UK (too many in fact) with nice looking unbeaten records but against absolute dross.

Unless they're coming into the pro game with impressive amateur pedigree and/or are looking spectacular against the typical supply of journeymen and bums I don't feel they're worth discussing until they step up. Another example is Jack Arnfield - 17-0-0 but who cares?

His Ko ratio isn't as good.

Frank Maloney is not around anymore to hype up shitty white heavyweights. Basically.

You can still see that somebody lacks the quality and technique needed to perform beyond area levrl when they are fighting journeyman.

You really cannot understand this?
