Maybe after the Fury fight(s), but not before I’d expect AJ to knock Rico out but it’s a potential banana skin, and Rico has considerably better than a puncher’s chance
People are coming to their senses. Rico would get absolutely steamrolled by anyone in the top 20 not named Usyk
Usyk has stopped Dubois who has proven to be a tough ******* against anyone not named Usyk and basically turned Fury into a temporary zombie and had AJ in trouble at times, he can crack when he sits down and a lot of his combinations are nasty. He doesn’t carry proper bazooka power but he is a decent puncher, he just doesn’t rely on power as a primary tool and it kind of sneaks in between the various other intricacies. He was fed up with Verhoeven after a round or two of him shuffling around right in his front yard relentlessly and there’s no doubt he wanted to hurt him but it took 11 rounds. Whether that means he will be successful against opponents who hit harder constantly but in a less refined manner than how Usyk goes about it we don’t know.
Agree. For all his faults AJ has savage power and has shown he isn’t afraid to use it against a non boxer in Ngannou. He’d go through Rico like a hot knife through butter.
