They're trying to avoid him becoming a pro fighter that fights like an amatuer who stayed too long in the system.
They can build as a real professional fighter if he turns pro now and could probably turn out similar to Canelo. Kid's only 16 and shows the talent but its way too early to tell how he'll do 10 years from now.

Its definitely pretty impressive that he is sparring with who he is sparring with at that age. Sparring partners dont get asked back if they arent any good.
Still there are a lot of guys in all sports who look incredible early and then drop off for what ever reason. Top level sports is tough mentally and physically, not everyone is cut out for it.
Good luck to him. Would definitely make more sense to stay Amateur for a while and learn the craft. Especially now with no headgear and 10 point must system you can learn the pro style in a structured environment out of the limelight.
