Wow. Putnam just doesn't have all that much going on for him, really. I mean, he does but he doesn't.
Hype? He's got it. People at Weider who like him? Has it. This seems to count for quite a bit because his physique isn't very impressive when compared with other guys who have turned pro as light heavies over the past several years.
Imagine Putnam compared against guys like Craig Richardson, Mark Dugdale, Richard Jones, Charles Dixon, or Fakhri Mubarak. NOT EVEN CLOSE!
