    Who did Wlad spark that had a good chin? I think AJ's power is overrated.

    Looking at this lemming Markus abandoning his boy AJ.

    Klitschko was 141 years old when he fought AJ.

    Not the best match up for AJ.

    I see him being gunshy after being tagged and getting stopped

    It's hilarious how "Dusseldorf Fury" beat this unbeatable Adonis version of Klitschko, but then in Klitschko's very next fight against Joshua, he was this decrepit has-been.

    I'd agree Wardley has a better chin than prime AJ, although prime AJ is defo technically the better fighter and that includes counter punching and inside fighting.

    Comparing Wardleys efforts against Parker with AJ is a flawed triangle theory IMO. They both won, but they fought very different fights against very different versions of Parker.

    Its a tricky one to predict Wardley V prime AJ because it would be a quick shootout IMO and AJ's power really shouldn't be underestimated here even if Wardley has a good chin.

    Yeah I'd have to back that.

    I feel someone like Zhang could brutally KO Wardley.

    Maybe but Zhang gassed vs Parker the same way Parker gassed vs Wardley, Fabia has good stamina compared to big heavy guys, Parker's weight cost him in the later rounds and that's what happens to Zhang in later rounds too.

    Wardley could defo beat Zhang, but Wardley's defence isn't as good as Parker's. Wardley does get hit a fair bit, and someone like Zhang whose power is ridiculous could be brutal.

    I think Wardley's aggressive and fan-friendly style will be his downfall. Usyk and Kabayel would hurt him quite badly, I think.
