    Ruiz is better than Hunter and I thought he edged Parker in their meeting. Povetkin also drew with Hunter off the back of being brutally KO’d. Don’t see anything special about the guy.

    Holy better than Hunter ? I have him only behind Ali and Archie Moore in the HWs. Masterclass counter puncher I would say.

    Ruiz is far better than that now, Hunter`s only got the power of a cruiser, Ruiz has more power than him now as does AJ, look how much more effect AJ`s punching had on Povetkin than Hunter`s power, no way would the shots he threw at Pov put Ruiz away now, he took harder shots from AJ.

    Usyk displayed better counter punching when outclassing Hunter at cruiser, his counter punching in that bout was bad.

    Hunter couldn`t counter Usyk`s high guard but Usyk countered Hunter well and would at heavyweight making him the better counter puncher at heavyweight too.

    Holyfield and its not even close. You think Ruiz did a number on AJ? Evander by KO in less than 5

    Hunter nearly got Povetkin out of there in the first round. Granted an older version.

    Hunter stopped Kiladze in 5, the same amount of rounds it took Joe Joyce, the savage punching Ajagba who Kiladze dropped hard, and one round quicker than Kownacki

    He also stopped the unbeaten savage punching and streaking Bakole in 10 despite the later being way bigger than him and having over 40lbs on him

    He stopped Ustinov in 9 despite the later having over 66lbs on him

    And Hunter dropped the unbeaten and tough Kuzmin hard too who had 37lbs on him

    He blew right through the 25lbs heavier and never before previously stopped Fabio Maldonado in just 2 rounds, the same Maldonado who in his previous 2 fights lasted the distance against Oscar Rivas, Oleksandr Teslenko and after fighting Hunter lasted the full route against Carlos Takam too. Takam praised Maldonado's toughness after the fight

    Not bad for a CW, eh?

    Hunter's power is underrated but power alone doth not maketh the man.

    No one's making the argument that he hits harder than AJ.

    Are we talking about the roided version of the bodybuilder or the leaner version that ran away against a 20 stone blob? Lol Joshua would be destroyed!
