    I put AJ 8th on the ATG list, just above Evander.

    AJ has a class chin BUT is far more ferocious than Bruno. Frank was a bit timid, AJ is not.

    Why? The kingpin is way better than Price ever has been. Price is nothing, and is finished, dunno why people keep mentioning him as if he was anyhow relevant even as a jurneyman.

    Joshua is real.

    He has the kind of power young Wlad bringed in the division. But, in my opinion, he can use it better in the offensive aspect.

    Only Wlad, Fury, Parker, Pulev and maybe maybe Wildest can pose a threat to him.

    And no, Povetkin wouldn't, at all. Povetkin is lost against anyone tall and rangy. He can only fight short and against short opponents. He's great against them, but only against them.

    Needs to step up again before we will know. KJ was a step up but he made it look easy. Problem with Joshua is he's not showing us any real development's, he's blasting through fighters that on paper should be taking him deeper into fights, the guy hits too hard and goes for the finish. Which is good but what about the things we haven't seen.

    Who can test him before he gets a title shot? Might only be another big HW.

    Still too early to say.

    He is the real deal as a puncher, but we still don't know how durable he is, and we haven't really seen him tested.

    If he ticks certain boxes, then we have a future champion on our hands.
