What a great bounce back back since the Usyk losses AJ has rebuilt his brand perfectly hope he gets the winner of Fury Usyk who knows he could win

[Kiowhatta]

A.J is the epitome, the personification of the old saying ’styles make fights’.

Although his comeback from the two losses against Usyk have restored much of the confidence and prestige he lost, I wonder whether this A.J 2.0 is capable of beating the very best in the division.

How would he perform in a third fight against Usyk?

Against Fury?

Both are better boxers, and unless he reclaims either the unified or undisputed championship he’ll always have that question mark over his ability.

I like A.J. He’s a great ambassador for the sport, and has lead a renaissance in interest in boxing in the U.K.

I’d love to see him go out in a fairy tale finish.

Beating shot old men, cans & an amateur?? No different to his entire career.
All he's done with Eddie is age out the elite of the division & Eddie even told us he was going to do so.

Aj has for the first time in his career behaved like a boxer & not a 1 a year cross trainer fighting cans regularly getting sharp realising its now or never, but let's not get carried away. He has to face a contender first, both Hrgovic & Parker are ahead in the belt rotation que.

So the Hrgovic Dubois (for the ibf) winner, that's the only way he goes first in the que.

He should fight another can or even a contender like Sanchez (though he'll punch back) & stay on his roll.

If you hate on AJ you aren't really a boxing fan, just an emotional fanboy.

Since Wlad lost the titles to Fury, AJ has been the best and most consistent heavyweight.

Usyk has only had 3 heavyweight fights, Fury fights once a year and most opponents are jokes, he also took a 2 year holiday, Wilder well we all know what Wilder was now.

No AJ isn't perfect, he's got his flaws, we have seen up and downs, it's always been an entertaining career though and good on him for getting back to relevancy despite all the hate he gets.

It's not impossible Joshua beats the Hrgovic/Dubois winner, Fury beats Usyk and then AJ sparks Fury out.

That scenario isn't impossible and if it happens AJ will go down as the best heavyweight of his generation. (people will say Usyk beat him but Joshuas heavyweight CV would far outweigh Usyk's in that scenario)

Theres still all to play for with AJ's career, idk if he can do it but it'll be fun watching him try.

Five, actually.

I honestly forgot about Chisora and witherspoon.

[JakeTheBoxer]

He has twpo great options; Hrgovic -Dubois winner or Wilder -Zhang winner

Well said, bro. If you are a true fan of boxing, actually sport in general, you won't hate on AJ. He's the one who has been keeping HW division relevant since his pro debut in 2013. He has been fully dedicated to the sport and strives to be the best of his generation. He cares a lot about legacy. What else can you demand from an athlete?
