Not a fan of AJ. In it for the money, not that anyone could blame him for that but I don't like his fights. Not accusing him outright, just don't like him.
Eubank Jr V Conor Benn might be a genuine fight. Benn is going up a weight. Can't be certain of anything in the fight game.
To be fair, if I’m getting smashed in the head, I would want paying well for it too.
But yeah, I don’t like him either. He became very arrogant and believed his own hype too much. He doesn’t respect his opponent enough and takes boxing for granted when it comes to facing the likes of Ruiz, and that’s why he’s been put on his arse so often. Plays all nice in his interviews but apparently he’s a nasty piece of work away from the cameras. Didn’t he go in and start threatening to break the jaws of a bunch of university kids that were giving him some stick?
He’s got some good wins on his CV, likes of Povetkin, Parker when he was up there as one of the better ones. But I don’t think he’d ever stand a chance against Wilder or Fury and I think White would probably beat him now too. It doesn’t take much to drop AJ so the power of Wilder would be far too much for him and Fury is too smart for him and would easily outbox him - don’t think it would be a quick knockout because Fury doesn’t have a massive amount of power, but the more the fight goes on, the more it favours him.
Shame AJ won’t fight either of them for one reason or another. Can’t see him beating Usyk this time either so that will ruin any chance of it ever happening.
