    How is it legit? What decent fighter has he ever knocked out? The first - and only - top level fighter he faced, Stiverne, took him the distance.

    Sorry but starching a bunch of tomato cans and glass jawed never-wases like Fraudley or that Polish dude don't prove jack.

    And I think ultimately Joshua will prove to be the real deal, while Wilder is shown to be the glass-jawed fraud many of us know him to be.:yep

    Artur has true power and would decapitate KKKovalev.

    Beterbiev's power surpasses them if anything. Beterbiev does not even try to put anything on his punches and he makes opponents react like they were hit by bricks. Beterbiev is the epitome of having heavy-handed power.

    Yeah on walking corpses. Khytrov's power had the same effect on his first 8 opponents as well, and then tapered off as he stepped up his opponents.

    Kovalev's shots were glancing blows and Campillo couldn't stay upright no matter how hard he tried. Beterbiev was landing compact hard shots and Campillo took them longer than Kovalev's.

    C'mon CST accept AJ is better than you thought he was. You still seem ****ed that he bulldozed your pick Martin.

    I've criticised AJ's opposition more than most but your hatred of him is totally irrational especially considering you regularly pump up Wilder despite him taking the path of least resistance over the course of his considerably longer career.

    Thanks Blizzy.:good We'll have to agree to disagree on the Kovalev point, although I do think that while GGG has impressive power it has more to do with how he delivers it, than the power itself.

    I see where you are coming from. I still think Beterbiev has more raw power but power alone does not score impressive knockouts especially against top-level opposition. Kovalev is the better boxer by far who happens to be pretty heavy-handed himself.
