    It takes a lot more than just size & strength to have a successful boxing career. I wish him well though. In about 18 month's it will be much easier to tell if he is championship material.

    He was created by the Chinese in a petri dish. Yoa Ming was designed in a similar fashion.

    He throws a heavy jab.
    Everything else wasn't that good; couldn't really land any hooks or uppercuts.

    But he could just stick that jab and beat most Heavyweights.
    Thought his reach would be a little more than 84" for a 7ft guy. Some 6ft guys have 80" reach.

    He should watch have George Foreman fought and duplicate the heavy jab with 1-2 shot that Foreman would always do (jab, straight right, almost at the same time)

    Solid analysis. He has one punch, the jab. Slow as penetrate too. Boxers like Tyson, Lewis and even Holyfield in their primes would knock this guy out in 30 seconds. He is more of a novelty.

    Thought he was interesting because of his size and you don't see too many Chinese boxers. Looks like they lined a cream puff up for him. Boxing 101.

    That's above the expected wingspan for his height. Would be a score of 1.0 (mean) if he were 7"0.

    On a related note....I've often encountered awe and amazement at the sheer size of my own "Taishan Dong"!!

    Exactly. Jesus Christ, some of these people. Guy just has his first fight, a four-rounder; "prime Tyson would wreck this guy". Aaron Pico vs Jose Aldo 2015.

    Easy win over that punching bag. Let's see him against some real opponents. His power is undeniable though. Knocking the guy over with his jabs.
