This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected Janibek is a complete fighter and the next undisputed middleweight champion. His frame is enormous, it is that of a light heavyweight. Janibek is actually only operating at 80% because he's drained but once he moves up he'll be at his best and nobody can compete with him at 168 besides Iglesias and Pacheco imo. He will beat everyone at 168 and then move up to clear light heavyweight and retire as an ATG. I guarantee he would be competitive with Bivol right now if that fight were randomly made. He is the most underrated champion in the whole sport, a future pfp great, but he's 32 and needs to get a move on. I think Janibek will surpass GGG
He is a great fighter could be the best I have ever seen live when he fought in Sydney. Hopefully he can get some big fights.
Hes a one trick weight bully. Clearly talented, but also limited. In his last two fights he showed some of his limitations against guys who were completely overmatched. I also question his stamina, but I think its probably an issue due to the weight cut. But no one at 160 is beating him anytime soon.
Middleweight is extremely slim pickings at the moment. He's the best of a bad bunch. I think the chance of him dominating 3 weight classes is the same as a snowflakes in hell.
He needs to get more active. He should be fighting every 2 or 3 months like GGG did, not once a year. The opponent doesn't matter that much as long as he keeps busy and stays in the headlines so that he grabs the attention of regular fans. Supposedly Janibek vs Adames is in the works though, so hopefully we see that fight soon.
He hasn't fought often nor been tested enough to make that claim. He's got talent for sure but he hasn't reached the level of GGG quite yet.
You will see an all time great talent against Lara. And then the next stop is Bud Crawford. Janibek vs Crawford is the best fight in boxing
I actually agree he’s a great fighter but his career has been a big fat nothing and he’s already into his 30s now and even beating an old Lara will hardly be that much of an achievement. He’ll end up more of a ‘what if’ probably.
Have to add my voice to the idea that he needs to fight more. You don't build up a fan base by futzing around every now and again.
He's talented. He's also lucky that middleweight is at its weakest ever since the early 1900s. His style is too limited to go and dominate all the way to 175, which has only really been done by high level ATGs.
