I think so, both on the basis of him being undefeated at the time and also the rawness of AJ when he fought him. Probably 5th out of the 5 which I'd arrange so:
Wladimir Klitschko
Joseph Parker
Carlos Takam
Dillian Whyte
Dominic Breazeale
But with just 20 pro fights there's still not a great deal of depth there. Next you'd have to look at Charles Martin or Eric Molina and neither of them are that great. The three of them were Haymon fighters and Hearn had to give him options on 2 AJ fights to land the Martin belt shot. It was a relief when that deal ended and he could face the best man in the division.
