I don't rate AJ very highly at all, he's fought nobody, and has shown many flaws in the fights he has had. He's a good prospect who's been presented as great by the UK hype machine.
I actually would prefer Parker go the Ruiz route first too - for the sole reason that he can make an AJ fight worth even more $ for himself.
AJ and Hearn's best bet would be to fight Parker now - before he gets too good. Fact is, AJ is not increasing his competition level, he's simply not getting any better. Parker is being pushed aggressively by DUCO and Kevin Barry - he's only going to get better.
AJ took the quick route by taking a title off the worst champion in history - at some stage, he's going to have to fight SOMEONE with a pulse. Until then, colour me skeptical.
Great physique, though.
