I don't have to justify anything. I don't argue opinions. I never said where I had him ranked. The world's leading experts, in unison, considered him one of the very best in the world. AJ fans want to rewrite history and pretend he was a lightly regarded, poorly ranked fighter.
Hearn pulled Whyte out of an Ortiz fight to face Parker instead, because he knew Parker was the much safer fight. The Ortiz fight was a final eliminator, guaranteeing Whyte a shot at Wilder. The Parker fight had absolutely nothing at stake. If Hearn considered Parker the more dangerous fight, there's no way he would have pulled Whyte out of the Ortiz final eliminator.
Time will tell who is right if Wilder or Ortiz ever face AJ Parker or Whyte.
