It's a testament to how good a boxer Wlad was that other professionals went into the ring with seemingly no idea how to approach him....he didn't fight bad boxers, he fought a few who you could say weren't title contender caliber, a few who were limited in what they could achieve and then some very good fighters who just didn't know what to do. Ray Austin was felled in 2 rounds without a single right cross being thrown, Wlad ended him with the jab, footwork, and a series of left hooks and yet you consider him "defense first second & third"


AJ shouldn't have lost to Ruiz, he fought dumb and honestly that's the only way I thought he could lose that fight. AJ did show me in the fight vs Ruiz that he's got piss poor upper body movement, he's got slow feet, and once you hurt him he's got no plan B. I never used to see the Frank Bruno comparison other than muscularity, but THAT was a Bruno-esque performance vs Ruiz. Everything is on the line vs someone you should beat left right and center and THAT is what we get? Poor

Wilder is open to counter for someone who can get close enough. I think if a Chris Byrd or Michael Dokes were around he'd struggle with them.


Tyson Fury is his own worst enemy, how long before another implosion? How long before he gloats in front of the wrong fighter? Also IF he were ever to need a KO to win could he get it? Does he have that power available?


So as it stands yes Tyson Fury is probably in the best position especially having survived the knockdown vs Wilder, but that last fight was absolute shit. Can't always fight world beaters though, it was probably best he stay active even if it was poor competition.
