    But at the same did Bakole, Anderson and Dubois have the clearly better resumes? I wouldn´t say so. But I wouldn´t really argue with ranking them over Wallin.

    Everyone is saying Wallin.

    Very interesting.

    ajs mythical resume always ages like crap

    That's a serious indication his record is very overrated

    Yeah, I got to say this performance makes AJ's resume take a real hit. I thought Wallin was better than this. He should beat a shopworn 40+ year old Chisora. Really bad.

    Right? I always thought Wallin was a decent top-15 type, but he's 34 and looked awful out there against an ancient Chisora. That said, for me it doesn't really impact AJ's resume as Wallin probably wasn't in his top 5 wins anyway (Klitschko, Parker, Povetkin, Ruiz, Pulev/Whyte at this point). All those guys were champs or high-level contenders.

    The one who really suffers here is Fury, as his top 5 is what? Klitschko, Wilder, Whyte, Chisora, Cunningham/Wallin?

    Possibly the Ruiz return
    Maybe Pulev

    Last night really highlighted how poor AJ’s post-Usyk career has been.

    Ironically his competitive losing effort in his Usyk rematch in 2022 might be the best AJ has ever boxed at a high level.

    To be fair, if Chisora beating Wallin ages AJ's resume a bit, Fury's resume becomes even more shyte, looking at how he performed against Wallin. Not to mention how bad his wins against Wilder aged. Chisora also beat Joyce, so the only claim to fame Zhang has, evaporates.

    1. Ruiz Jr.
    2. Pulev
    3. Either Wallin or Franklin

    Pulev was clearly better than Wallin even at 39 since he performed much better against 2022 version of Chisora than Wallin did against 2025 version of Derek

    Since 2018 the murderer’s row beaten is as follows:

    283 lbs Ruiz in a big Saudi ring

    39 year old Pulev

    Franklin

    39 year old Helenius

    Wallin

    0-1 Ngannou

    If they had a round robin I guess Pulev would come away with the most wins.
