    He was definitely a favourite but there were many saying otherwise and a fair few pundits too

    Duke Mckenzie and Simon Jordan were two I remember but there was more

    Some people saw the signs

    A new and improved AJ was just Hearn selling his product

    You expect me to go back and look up a bloody list for you lol

    I don't care if youu believe it, I know what I read and heard

    Saying that, I'm not saying I'm one of them and trying to take credit

    Most is more than many. He entered as a favourite because of that.

    Feels like you're defending him just for the sake of it tbh

    Well I'm not

    Id levy the opposite accusation against you but not my style

    Also how is saying a fighter might have declined defending him?

    It's an observation if anything (again read where I said I wasn't one that saw much if any)

    He got beaten up that's about the bottom end of it

    Accusing me of thinking that AJ is a better fighter than Dubious and thus rightfully the favourite?

    AJ didn't magically become shot overnight, he just let his opposition slip to the point where someone as basic as Dubios managed to surprise him.

    No, just critising AJ for the sake of it was my point

    But I actually don't believe that deep down

    Despite it looking that way

    I don't think pointing out that AJ was the rightful favourite walking into that one was criticism tbh. If you think I have a low view of AJ, my one for Dubios is even lower lol.

    Just wish these dinosaurs would move on tbh and stop wasting our time with pointless tune ups/"confidence runs". You're either world level or you're not.
