    Mak is a massive puncher no matter how you try and spin it

    To be fair, Ajagba barely beat Guido it was razor-close and Guido hurt him

    Yes.

    Tyson Fury has a craven streak - he avoided the rematch with Klitschko, and delayed fighting Usyk for nearly two years, and now he's ducking Joshua.

    Say what you will about Makhmudov, yes he has limited skill and is vulnerable to body punches, but at least he's not a coward.
    Makhmudov KOed Rice, not an easy thing to do.

    I don’t know enough about Makhmudov. But AJ, Usyk, and Crawford have all taken excellent care of themselves. Late 30s for guys like that, with modern recovery tech, isn’t what it used to be.

    Dave said on a recent podcast with The Cobra that he'd like to fight AJ if he beats old Twitchy Neck.
