I'll give him credit for the win tonight, but there's no way he's developed a strong chin and elite stamina given under 2 years ago he was being dropped at will by Lerena, a career cruiserweight, who was fringe world level at best.

Got a massive punch hasn't he. Some say he should have won the Usyk fight, with that right hand to the kidneys.

That Usyk shot was a low blow, no doubt about it.

He's always had a huge punch, but it's the ridiculous improvement in chin and stamina which really makes me doubt a few things.

It was only 5 rounds, not so much stamina needed

That was sad to watch for me.

AJ never looked there from the get go, looked sloppy all round, against a kid who can really bang.

Dubois is the real deal though.

Never seen AJ destroyed like that, saddest part was watching him trying to get up with everything he had.

Probably time for him to hang it up now, it gets no better from here.

The rumoured trips to Brazil you mean?

Crazy how the promoters basically fked up the biggest fights at HW over the last few years, firstly with the AJ, Wilder saga and then AJ, Fury saga. Both fights not worth a carrot now.

When Fury gets beat again by Usyk, they'll do a one off fight between Joshua and Fury. It will still sell relatively well.

AJ has never had a chin and wilder can’t box, keeping them away from each other kept the cash cow going for each of them.

It's what's killed boxing a bit for me personally, they dodge the biggest fights while constantly talking them up

It'll sell like hot cakes but it'll be like Mayweather Vs Manny where neither of them are in their prime and the shine has long gone from the fight

UFC seems to get it right, boxers don't

True to a point. However, the Fury fight should have been made a couple of years ago. That's done now.

First round did AJ. He was fighting on pure dogged determination after that. Did well to last as long as he did.

It won't carry the same weight though unfortunately.
