Or maybe popular fighters today don't have the luxury of "padding" their records. It's not like AJ can slip on the undercard of the first Hearn American show (Danny Jacobs) to subtlety introduce himself to a new audience or have a quick defense down at the York Hall before Christmas.

Dillian Whyte got a non-televised slot on the Crawford undercard the other month and all over the boxing fans/forum/media was criticism of the opponent. Dillian fucking Whyte can't even have a gimme, in front of one man and a dog, without being torn to shreds.

Fans today have no understanding of Lennox Lewis being on Gatti and Holyfield undercards in the States. Roy-Toney/Hopkins all made their careers on Tyson/Morrison/Holyfield/Oscar undercards. Imagine today that a fight like Roy Jones-Toney was a mere undercard musing? These type of fights today have a glorified mythical status when in reality they weren't even deemed headline worthy.
