On the flip side Wilder can beat 5 shot Owen Becks to equal one. The Wlad fight was a double edge sword. He looked brutal thrashing one of the best of a generation but his last two fights have been held to that a bit. He was also dropped and hurt badly and gassed and that was used in comparison when Wilder was in the same shape.

AJ grew more in the Wlad fight than he could ever could beating any 5 TBA cans. Great learning experience for any fighter to have to return from the brink of disaster. It's what they do with it after that matters.
