I hope Jason Brown can increase his technical difficulty and consistency. I used to be a fan of Hanyu's skating but I'm less enthused by his skating due to uninspiring programs, lack of improvement in his posture and lines, and tendency to skate sloppy in his long programs. I felt he has been propped up in PCS recently, not unlike Chan. Brown has far better presentation, musicality, interpretation, better spins, lines, and overall refinement.
Brown is like a month about in age from Hanyu. I guess it isnt impossible for him to challenge him someday but it would take a ton of improvement in basic skating, speed and power, and jumping difficulty, quality, and consistency before he is able to. My guess now if forced to make one would be he that he never becomes a serious rival (atleast not consistently) to Hanyu.
Brown does not have better spins than Hanyu btw.
