I see AJ dispatching that Takam in 3 rounds with his Whyte fight in the background where he stopped the grudge ridden Whyte after being briefly paused with a wild right. I purposely can't see anyone else getting that close. Wlad did say he thought AJ the best of the up n comers. AJ has ended most of his fights in emphatic fashion. it was AJ made Martin look pedestrian.
Wait, so if Takam would only last three rounds with AJ, you must rate him much higher than Whyte. Can you tell me why? What opponents has he beaten, what skills has he shown?
Joshua wasn't briefly paused either, he went in to his shell for the rest of round two, and also round three.
If Whyte, who is lucky to be in the top 30, can trouble AJ and last 7 rounds with him, how can you confidently say that the only boxers that could cause AJ trouble are Ortiz and Wlad?
See here's who I'd pick over Parker right now: Povetkin, Ortiz, Fury and Haye. I think Wlad and Wilder are close fights and are tough to call against Parker. You often imply that most of us on this forum are Parker nut huggers, but since Parker is more proven and has beaten the better opponents, and since you only think Ortiz and Wlad could potentially cause AJ problems, doesn't that mean that if anybody is hyping any fighter, it's you hyping AJ?
