    "My favorite fighter hasn't ever stopped a prime, elite fighter so probably no one has"

    Stop trying to answer a question with a question. Like I say it’s a simple answer and just some names will do.

    I'm actually wondering how long you've been following the sport if you're asking such a stupid question. You seem more like a fan of a certain fighter than the sport itself, but I guess it's in the username.

    It’s a completely rational question so Stop deflecting and answer it.

    You’ve replied to multiple posts now when a simple name would have done.

    Kids gone from being overrated by many to being underrated by most. AJ is a bloody good fighter. Not elite, never was for me, but he has been what I call the 'culturally dominant' heavy for a long time and he's backed it up in the majority of matches. Would YOU put your name out there time and again after losses, conclusive losses, when you don't have to, could live comfortable for several lifetimes...? Kids got bottle, he's got fire in his belly, he's fun to watch and he's taken dangerous fights.

    Edit, just realised I didn't answer the question. No, for me he's far from finished at world level. I'd watch him fight any of the top ten and give him a 50/50 chance of beating most after the top three.

    Of course not, but Saudi money slowly turns the top ten into a shark-infested waters.
