    i think if you train hard and have physical attributes you can go far. I mean if jake paul can beat pros why not Fabio? Does Jake paul have amatuer pedigree?
    I mean Fabios attributes is power and decent chin. So with those attributes he must try win within distance. If it goes to points hed likely have less than a 49% chance of victory.

      Chin, heart, power, will, courage.

      He lacks in the skill department but he's an incredibly hard bastard who goes in there to land heavy shots and isn't discouraged by getting hit.

      Compare him to man like AJ or Fury who get hit on the chin one time and don't want to know anymore.

      Fabio really understands you can't go swimming and not get wet.

      Being willing to go to war gets you a long way in today's dead division.
      The biggest power puncher Fabio Wardley has fought and beaten in his career is Joseph Parker 'Anthony Joshua beat Parker when he was an unbeaten WBO World Heavyweight Champion with considerable ease'.

      Note: Both Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are more proven at top level than Wardley by miles in all departments 'And they have both fought and beaten a high level of power punchers than Fabio Wardley'.

      When Fabio Wardley has a resume which can compete with Fury and Joshua 'And he is still winning, only then can you start comparing him to Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua'.

      Anthony Joshua has beaten Wladimir Kiltschko, Alexander Povetkin, Andy Ruiz Junior, Joseph Parker, a peak version of Dillian Whyte when he could actually move inside a boxing ring. Carlos Takam, Kubrat Pulev. Most of those fighters are all more proven power punchers than any fighter on Wardley's resume'.

      Anthony Joshua skill for skill has also beaten many more better fighters than Wardley 'So overall he is a more proven heavyweight fighter in all departments than Fabio Wardley'.

      To conclude: Yes Fabio Wardley has shown great resolve thus-far in his career, but against whom? He has been getting smashed up and beaten down win or lose 'In all of his top level fights, and even at domestic level against Frazier Clarke I'.

      So lets not get carried away with another fighter who is currently 'hot right now. Fabio Wardley just like Daniel Dubois in my opinion will ether win in spectacular fashion, or lose in spectacular fashion. That could be ether by a brutal knockout and systematic beat down where he does not win a single round'.

      Even at this stage of their careers, I would back both Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua to beat Fabio Wardley 'And I would not be surprised in the slightest if Wardley did not win a single round vs. ether of those fighters in solid form' etc.

Yet he beat contenders like Parker up ? What’s going on ? is his success due to luck or a good promoter who likes him ? Or horrible quality heavyweight division ? Or all of these factors ?
        So much? He just beat Clarke who is british level. Huni was winning most round till he got KOd. His 1 world level win is Parker, and I did not rate Parker as high as others did. So big success in terms making it to the world champ, I would not call so much success in terms of resume of opponents when the only top 10 he fought was Parker

          He's a much bigger, much better, Mike Tyson, but he hits harder, has more heart, and better recovery skills. HW division from 2010s until now has been tremendous, though many of the ATG's are coming to the end. Fury, Wilder, Joshua, Uysk, Chisora. It's been a great last 15 years after a dire 80s, 90s, and 00s. The current batch have matched the 70s. Nash out - His Majesty

            wardley kabayal & moses are the current 'guys' apart from usyk, kabayal has come on since 2024 after being out in the wilderness it seems for years, wardley has now made a spot for himself with a belt & moses is a young unproven guy with a lot of hype behind him now, its just how the heavy division is, a few wins in a row & u can be one of those guys, i dont think usyk wants to fight any of them & probably sees them as the next gen who will duke it out when he hits the road after a few cushy cash out fights which im sure he feels he very much deserves at his stage now

              Jakr Paul has yet to beat any contender boxer ! And Jake Paul got these opportunities with money and fame. How did Fabio Wardley get them ?
