        Well, according to you, he was never 'mighty' to begin with. At least not compared with fellow alphabet strap holder Wilder.

          They're literally begging Paul to save their hype job from fighting any top 15-rated HW.
          It's Fake Paul or stay in retirement.

            Yep. Jake Paul pay day is the only reason Joshua still pretends he is active boxer.

            He won't go anywhere near any ranked figher. Not even Yoka.

              Yes, totally right. AJ begging Jake Paul for a fight is pretty humiliating. And it will all be for nothing After Jake-Tank turns out to be a debacle - Tank will be grossly out of shape but Jake will be cautious about running into a punch - there won’t be much appetite for AJ-Jake. AJ should just wait for Fury to come back, do 2 fights with him and calll it day.

                I would hope that my hyperbolic excesses don't define my posting. Of the generation of the past decade, I rate A.J. as one of the 4 best, and see him as well as the other three as hall of fame material, by all means.
                I do spend an inordinate amount of words defending the critics of Wilder, sometimes using Joshua as the foil. Guilty of that.

                  I wouldn't put AJ in the HoF.

                    AJ avoiding Yoka in order to not risk blowing a Jake Paul fight.

                    Who do you consider the 4 best?
