To be fair, there is no way to objectively say if you suck or not. It can't be disproven either way. It's just your opinion just like everybody...
Power is the last thing that goes. Even old Wlad hit harder than Vitali. And AJ managed to get up after a flush shot, taking much more punishment...
If he took the fight you would say Kabayel took an easy payday against grandpa Klitschko instead of fighting fellow contenders :P
If AJ could take a flush shot from Wlad, who hits 3x harder than Vitali, he would be fine.
I think Parker rates higher historically.
Anderson vs Bakole.
Whyte was a perennial Top 5 contender for 5 years straight. No shame in losing to prime Dillian.
Most of these weren't stoppages coming off 1 shot KOs but accumulation of punches against overmatched opponents not even close to the level AJ was...
Which 7 rounds you had him winning?
Ruiz hits harder than Vitali. Usyk didn't hurt AJ.
Vitali doesn't have enough of a pop to trouble AJ, who only seems to have life and death problems with big punchers. The workrate would kill him...
True, that's why I said he would probably be a Top 3 guy in every era.
Well, he might have just waited for the purse bids to find out what his real worth was, but Bowe dropped the belt into the trashcan not to fight...
I personally scored it as a draw. Very, very close fight.
