AJ has to be a top 10 p4p fighter now, there's no doubt.

    History disagrees with you, there hasn't been a cruiserweight champion over 6ft 4 going as far back as Adolpho Washington is 1996.

    Aj has beaten 4 of the current Ring Magazine Top 10 in Povetkin, Parker, Whyte and Breazeale (also has a win over an ATG in Wladimir). Only 2 other of the Top 10 HWs have wins over Top 10 opponents and thats Wilder and Whyte with only 1 each.

    AJ certainly has the credentials to be a valid option to be considered a Top 10 P4P fighter.

    On resume yeah I guess he would crack the top 10, skill wise...I don't think so, but then resume wise I don't think you can have Spence top 10 so who knows.

    As Tyson Fury once said "Pound for pound is a load of bollocks, the best fighter in the world is the #1 HW."

    Of course this was either right before or right after he beat Wlad.

    I'd put him at 10, not higher unless he beats Usyk.

    There's really no one else at hw to improve his standing.

    He has a solid resume, but he doesn't have the skills or athleticism for a pound for pound entry. He wouldn't beat anyone in the pound for pound top 10 if everyone was the same size.

    So in a much smaller weight class, say MW where 160 is the weight limit and average height is around 5'10-5'11, fighters usually enter the ring in the low 170's which means they rehydrated a little over 10 pounds in a day. Also, the smaller the weight class, the smaller the gap in weight between weight classes, take FW (126) and SFW (130) as opposed to LHW and CW. With those two facts in mind, you think a 6'7 220 lbs. man would have trouble making 199 and rehydrating back to his normal weight within one day? Laughable. What do you think Usyk walks around at, ******? About 215, but he's also 4-5 inches shorter. You're an idiot. End of.
