    He’s not even a top 10 heavyweight of all time. You guys are deluded idiots . He beat a 40 year old Wlad and a former D league basketball player with no footwork or boxing fundamentals. You all are idiots of the highest order .

    What quality contenders do you think are out there that will pose a threat?

    A talented fighter no doubt about that, fantastic victories on foreign soil beating champions away and getting the crowd on side at the same time, that should be applauded, but at the same time it should be remembered that he failed a ped test and gave a bs excuse. But more importantly for me is that he has yet to defend a world title, talent and ability aren’t enough to make an atg resumes matter and without defences they will never hold up to scrutiny when compared with the elite, good victories and good names on the resume look empty when you see what came before and what came after.

    He could start by defending a world title for the first time

    It doesn't matter. He needs to defend his title against who's out there. Absolutely baffling that anyone would push back on that statement

    He's not great until he proves it by putting his title on the line. That's just indisputable fact

    AJ and Usyk are a big threat and Ortiz.
