    Whyte , Kownacki , Ortiz , Wilder , Fury , Takam have all at one point declined A.J .

    Then have guys canceling in the past more then once like Pulev and guys having to be giving more to fight him or threatened with legal action like Ruiz and needle to pump everything in them like Miller who was already well over 250 .

    A.J the true boogeyman.

      Well it was 10 not 3 but the outcome was clear since the beginning. Nevertheless imo Takam is among the best AJ has faced (after Ruiz and Klitschko). On par with "old" Povetkin that faced AJ, but prime Povetkin was better.

        Ypu know something AJ doesn't do well against late replacements does he.

        Takam came in and did a pretty good Joshua clottey impression and AJ seemed to have zero creativity. He did show an improvement in that area vs Pulev, who also just wanted to survive.

          Takem was coming on strong against a fading AJ and the referee bizarrely stopped the fight

            ”And then I was in the social media, in the internet..."

            The man is in the internet. Look out.

            The most awkward part of the article are all his quotes. Should have just spoke in French and got it translated. Would have sounded like less of an idiot.

              let's stop the propaganda. AJ turned down $50M 50/50 split to fight wilder. To only take let money to get beat up by ruiz in the US and took less of a guarantee to fight fury smh

                Carlos is 40? I thought he was like early 30s. Dudes got an engine to fight the way he does at 40.

                  ...and then there was the one about the home cooked ref AJ needed to get past Parker and has avoided a rematch ever since.

                  Kinda like whyte, who also needed a home cooked ref to avoid being knocked the fudge out by Parker and is too chicken pooh for a rematch as well.

                  Though to be fair, both those decisions were more by Fast Eddie's shenanigans.

                  The last thing he wants is Parker anywhere near another title shot!

                    I thought that stoppage was a bit premature too.
