Why do people still act like AJ is a really good fighter

[Pac=Duran]

Lol

Because he has a "great" resume and was "ripping through everyone early in his career"

Klitschko, Whyte, Takam, Parker, Povetkin

Who else was fighting guys of this calibre? Wilder ran from Povetkin and was never in a million years going to go near Klit

If you looked objectively Wilder was never top 3. He beat nobody, he was all hype.

Deluded....

Lol, that tagline again.

He beat 2 good fighters in their relative primes - 2! And both were at home, and neither guy was that good, and neither win was that impressive.

We can argue all day about the quality of the wins, but its just a fact that he was fighting guys that were ranked in the top 10 at a rate that other HWs werent.

****ing Del Boy has fought most of those guys.

Lol Povetkin did test positive for PEDs, and Wilder was going to fight him in Russia, 2.5 years before AJ fought him. Hard to fault Wilder for that one.

Wlad, Takam and Povetkin were on average almost 39 years old in those fights lol. And again they were all at home.

And Takam and Povetkin? I mean Povetkin was a really good fighter at one point, but Takam was never really exceptional. And again both were pushing 40.

How can anyone really get excited over who AJ faced, especially considering they were all at home? And no win (besides Wlad) was really done in impressive fashion.

Thank you.....

****ing Del Boy has fought most of those guys.

And guys like Wilder never even fought Del Boy

I don't care about a guy cherrypicking some other guy that some organization has ranked in the top 10, fighting him at home, and almost always winning a rather unimpressive fight that has some level of minor controversy.

Isn't it clear to you that AJ and co. could only compile a list like that because they had star power, and could carefully select fighters to fight at home, that they knew they could get the result against, since they were at home, if push came to shove?

He took 3 semi risks in his whole career - Wlad, Ruiz 1 and Usyk. 1-2. And none were really crazy risks at all.

Wilder's last 6 fights were Fury 3x, and Ortiz 2x and then Breazeale,

5 of those fights are definitely better than Chisora. You understand that right?

Okay, but who are you comparing him to exactly?
