AJ has to be a top 10 p4p fighter now, there's no doubt.

    No. If you look at his two best wins they are fighters of a previous generation. Both 40 or thereabouts & both were arguably ahead on the cards. Getting outboxed by old WK & AP is not 'p4p' stuff.. I mean Povetkin looks like my grandmother these days!!! Do you want to stick Bellew on it too? He DESTROYED an old Haye! LOL

    Take away AJs physicality & power & he'd he a very beatable SHW. Truth is Povetkin is a small HW today & the size disparity at HW can be ridiculous sometimes.. Add age to him (declining gas tank, legs, reaction time etc) & he's a sitting duck for some..

    AJs not even the most talented HW let alone a top 10 fighter on the planet. Sowwy... Even worse is he made his mark beating a near shot version of the most ridiculed, disrespected & hated on fighter of the past decade, Vladimir!! 'Grabimir' the 'bum killer'... So what does that make AJ?? A 'p4per' all of a sudden... LOL

    P4P isn't just about resume sure but Joshua's skill set does not match up to anyone in my personal top 10... He drops too many rounds, looks quite 1D & stiff at times, it's mainly his power & physicality that pulls him through... He's a fighter that dwarfs most of the division & opposition to date. Yes that can be applied to WK etc but I never had him on my list either.. & nor were his best wins 40 year old had beens!

    When you're 2 best wins are semi shot/retired 40 year olds & you're losing (IMO) to both of them you're not a top 10 p4p fighter... Casuals love him, seems a decent fella, he's a good HW no doubt but he's not p4p.

    & retires... For Good. Orovoir.
