Don't get me wrong, his jab is still very good, but it's increasingly becoming a lesser tool for him. Maybe he's slowing down or can't snap it out consistently any more, I don't know, but it's definitely not as dominant a weapon as it used to be.
I don't know whether Fury would be able to out jab Wlad but I wouldn't be surprised if he did. He's certainly using it a lot more than Wlad is in recent fights that's for sure.Comment

I don't recall that at all. In fact I was actually shocked at how ineffective his jab was in that fight, and I fully expected him to take Povetkin apart with it prior to the match as he did against Haye. The few times he used it he had success, but Povetkin was able to get himself on the inside almost every time he came forward, and if it wasn't for the disgusting levels of hugging Wlad would have been in serious trouble.

Price was never considered what AJ is now. Never. That's simply incorrect.
Thompson is fat, old and slow and has only been stopped by Klitschko because the only other puncher he ever fought was David Price. He's as absolute average as they get, and it's incredibly cringey every time a Klitschko fan is trying to build up Thompson to something he's clearly not.
Pulev ducked Chisora. And Ustinov?
What a horrible list of people you just mentioned.
A guy I work with is convinced Joshua is the best heavyweight to ever come out of the UK, even on the minimal showcases we have seen of him, no surprise to let you know he's British. 'Joshua will destroy Fury, Klitschko and everyone and anybody else' another of his faves.
Thompson may be all of the above, fact is he's operated at a higher level than Fury and looked convincing whilst at it. If Fury defeated Thompson it would be the best win on his resume, tear Thompson down all you like, I just laugh that little more. As for building him what purpose would that serve me, the two wins and the manner in which they came for Klitschko over Thompson were and are a testament to how good theses wins actually are, the fact Thompson is not considered a top five win for Wlad shows you just how impressive his record is.
Pulev is a top contender, Chisora never was and never will be.Comment

I'm not sure what the high point of Johnson's career was, not being knocked out but being beaten senseless for 12 rounds by Vitali maybe ? I dread to imagine how great that performance would have been dubbed had Johnson have been British. I guess he would have some out with as much kudos Chisora's countrymen like to attribute him for his defeat against Vitali.Comment
