    We are talking about power. You are conflating that with skill and calibre, likely. Stay on topic, guy.

    I think durable journeymen/fringe contenders, and the nature that you get them out of there, are a reasonable barometer for someone's power sometimes. At championship level, an inability to get someone out of there sometimes speaks more to a skill issue than a power issue. Who did Shaver get out of there for us to say he was an ATG power hitter? We go off the nature of his knockouts and the eye test.

    I bring a message of liberation to you - it's okay. You can use your eyes!

    Imagine being too afraid to quote me so you use an alt. Sad. It's only the internet, fella.

    Say my name....

    No but seriously, my style is pretty idiosyncratic so I am curious who you have in mind.

    Keep going so everyone can continue laughing at you.

    It's not an accusation when I provide actual evidence of you constantly spamming the forum with AJ hate threads.

    The proof is right there in my post for everyone to see.

    So either you're trolling or you have a weird obsession with AJ.

    1. You claim people keep get overrating AJ to justify yourself keep making these silly AJ threads but who is overrating AJ ? His stock since losing to Dubois and the farce with Paul has dropped considerably ?

    2. I doubt anyone on this forum even rates AJ as a top 10 Heavyweight in the current rankings as it stands now.

    So again there is no "fanboyism" I just find it incredibly weird that you can't stop making AJ hate threads like he stole your girlfriend the way you carry on about it.

    Curious that the very same posters who "don't even care about X fighter" rush in, thread after thread, post after post, to provide an emotional defense of that very fighter. It's okay to be a big fan of a fighter - your fandom what makes this sport great.

    That said, if your plea is "Please leave my favorite fighter alone. Why are you criticizing him??" instead of engaging in a reasonable discussion, you are going to continue to be upset.

    These are the very same people who think 41 year old Klitschko is better than 39 year old Klitschko. I will continue bringing to light such absurdities. Fanboys try to repeat things day after day to establish them as fact, but it's not happening.

    Not sure if this is saying much but Jake Paul's face is still swollen months now after his fight with AJ

    Criticising a fighter with a non biased well thought out response is fine.

    Spamming the forum continuously with AJ threads is the definition of trolling or a weird obsession.

    Which is not the samething.

    You have almost 20k low quality posts in 3 years. Who is spamming?

    Considering I have 34k likes in 16k posts clearly the opinion of the forum doesn't share your opinion.

    I also don't keep making the same topics about 1 fighter with low quality threads that is the definition of spamming low quality content.

    And the way you're trying to justify yourself that you have to keep "making these AJ threads" is absolutely ridiculous.

    Zhang isn’t even S Tier, he just stopped Joyce who’s there to be hit. When has he shown S-Tier power? He would have stopped Hrgybear

    Joyce's chin was bloody good before Zhang cracked it
    That's power right there

    Just about everything regarding AJ is over-rated. The man could not even be bothered to box on a regular basis during his career. The last time he got in the ring with an actual professional boxer, as opposed to a youtube star, Daniel Dubois made AJ look worse than an amateur, knocking him down again and again with ease. . .

    Yes but a chin eventually cracks. You can say the same as Munguia or Brandon Rios. Rios has an S tier chin but Danny cracked him bad. Now Danny is a strong puncher but he’s not S tier.
