AJ has to blitz ko fashion usyk beat wilder n fury 2x for belt n rematch clause then beat 2 younger lions atleast on paper sanchez hrgovic then retire with belts no further loses then I would rank him top 10 for 3x hw champ unified beat atleast 8-10 top 10 in division so depth resume .
    Mike Tyson had far bigger odds to win then A.J ever did . Tyson lost his first fight as the underdog against Lewis . A.J is only 26 fights in to keep comparing them at this stage as though A.J is on his way out is ridiculous ,he’s way ahead of the curve the way you guys go about this is like complaining Mike Tyson should’ve beat Foreman , Ali , Ray Mercer Rid**** Bowe etc etc .

      Mike Tyson only went 12 rounds 3 times ,2 being sub par performances and he’s had a few 10 rounders going the distance. He has 3 losses after mid rounds . A.Js 11th round stoppage against Klitschko, Ruiz 12 round boxing lesson and competitive Usyk fight to the end is much more impressive in 26 fights then whatever Mike Tyson did against the guys he’s fought in later rounds who were well over matched in his prime .

      More importantly how can you call Mike Tyson’s resume Mediocre when Tyson Fury has fought very little top guys and has one title defense so far ?

        Tyson was 19 old he can't go 5 fights and then fight for title also back then was harder to get title shout and im not sure than when tyson went 12 round 120-107 distance was subpar performance or when he outjabbed 6'5 Tucker 118-113 119-11 or Ruddock 2 where was AJ at 20 old?

          Holyfield and Mercer were not punchers. Both had under 60% KO rate. Tyson has good power, just not Wilder or W. Klitschko level.

            As I said you blatantly haven’t studied or watched these fighters properly if you’re coming out with nonsense like that. I’m not even a big Mike fan, but his run from 86-89 was very impressive. Consistently ran through current, former, future champions.

            Povetkin is C level at best for me, never beat anybody I rated. What’s his best win? Chagaev? Huck? The other 3 are C level at best also. Ruiz, Parker and Pulev wouldn’t even be contenders in past eras. The fact two of them won titles just shows what little depth this current era has.

            The way I look at it:
            A Level: Fury and possibly Usyk.
            B Level: Wilder and AJ.
            The rest genuinely aren’t worth a damn, aside from a few rising contenders who remain unexposed and may have untapped potential.
            Prime Povetkin pretty much only gets beat by skilled super-heavyweights and would have dominated in the late 80s. You are deluded and huffing nostalgia like it is paint.

            Sorry, the 1980s ain't chock full of killers like you think.

              Povetkin ain’t doing sh** in the 80’s. Marco Huck beat his ass but got jobbed on the cards. Was he a skilled super heavyweight?

              Boxrec won’t teach you everything kid. How about you actually watch the fights and then that way you’ll form a proper opinion of past fighters.

              Be honest, how old are you? You seem like a newer fan who’s pretty clueless about past eras. It’s cool, all boxing fans go through this, but just go and watch the fights cause I guarantee it will at least change your perspective.

                You think Ray Mercer wasn’t a puncher? Tell that to Tommy Morrison.

                You’re either completely uneducated or just trolling at this point.

                  - - Ya fergot the prestigious Ring Title he has held for 6 years now when added all together before his strippage. Is Flubber when the Ring Title became defunct?

                  Is that a new Ring Record. What do Ring say about that?

                  Shhsssss...mum's the word.....shhhhhh.

                    Morrison was packing glass. A soft breeze would have him dribbling on the canvas.

                      There is no sport on this planet that has declined from the 80s. The HWs have got bigger and more athletic.

                      The biggest myth in boxing is that the "golden eras" of HW were when pretty much only Americans boxed.
