Legend's a big word. AJ is already a star.... but "legend"?

He's gonna have to do a bit more than just crack the U.S. market. He's gonna have to be relatively busy. He's gonna need a fair amount of quality opponents who can give him compelling matches. He's gonna need epic matches (all those other guys had theirs). He's already shown he can come back from adversity.... which is another prerequisite.

I'm pulling for AJ. He's a genuinely nice guy, with tons of talent. I can't be more thankful that he and Wlad staged the best heavyweight championship fight in decades. So if AJ's the next legend..... great. But he's got quite a ways to go. I'd like to see him face all the top heavies, including Deontay, who I think he'd most likely beat.
