    No, because the only way he could win is by a lucky punch coming from behind there were ATG`s who would do much better than that vs AJ who hasn`t proven he`s an ATG yet.

    False statement. Fury, Joshua, and possibly Guillermo Jones, Adamek, and Cunningham have him covered depending on criteria.

    Yer this will always be a stain for him, not the loss but the fact he was dominated like a little boy..

    If he did get a win (which I doubt) he would have to go down as a top 30 guy imo..

    No.

    That distinction belongs to smokin' Joe Frazier.

    FOTC.


    It would be Pov's best win though.

    And if he followed it up with a win over Wilder, it would put him in the conversation for top 30, not too far outside the top 20 !

    I think that if he beats AJ and Wilder we're looking at an ATG, unquestionably.

    It would be the equivalent of Corrie Sanders KO'ing Wladimir back in 2003. Who remembers that upset?? I smell an upset damn it.
