PBC might as well do Ajagba vs Sanchez to see who they should put all their chips on in HW. Currently, it seems like both of these either need more time to be prepared to the top guys of the division or they will never get there at all. Ajagba showed some nice things but his defense is still trash.

Yea I was thinking today that Ajaba, Sanchez, and maybe even Kownacki should just fight each other
Having Sanchez and Ajaba looking borderline trash against low comp ain't really doing anything.

I thought Sanchez looked great compared to others that have fought Dawejko
Kuzmin should have lost
Big Baby Draw
Mansour ugly fight
Jennings ugly fight

only Sanchez and Martin have really dominated him

Mansour? Jennings? Martin? none of those guys are that good to me :manny:
Clear B level (maybe even C level guys re:mansour, dawejko) . If you are saying Sanchez is in that tier and looked good against a lower guy I'd agree with that. Maybe calling him trash is doing too much and a result of me being bored to death during that match, felt he should have dominated even more or hurt Dawejko badly a couple times with all those advantages he had
And Joey looked especially fat and unmotivated to me in the match. I'd be interested if he weighed more than usual and what type of camp he had

Huh
You know him or something? :mjlol:
He cool but Martin would be food to Wilder, a serious Ruiz, probably Ortiz and half those British guys if we being real here

He's lumped in with everyone else outside of Fury, AJ, and soon to be Usyk. None of the 2nd tier HW's are clearly better than the next.

I hope Kownacki comes back, his come forward style is entertaining and could make for some dope fights.

I think that "war" with Martin and then that war last year with Arreola may have did that fat fukks chin in. Granted he did look morbidly out of shape and that may have been THEE issue but yea, he's probably going to need quite a few soft touches before taking on a high quality HW.

yeah arreola is past it but arreola can punch and he did hit him more than enough times in that 12 round fight...even if he shook that shyt off thats a damn heavy...it prolly chipped away at his punch resistance significantly

He did look more out of shape than usual, saw him speak after the fight and he seemed to take the loss well. I'd hope that was a bad night for him rather than his level, as I do find his style entertaining in the fights I've seen. Think there's some nice fights out there for him, but that was a massive blow to him in terms of rising up the ranks. He may as well have fought AJ and got 7 million and possibly lost than the minor money he would have got the other night and losing to Helenius. In hindsight bad advice, cherrypicking can go really wrong. In the division I think there's a depth of fighters now to create interesting match ups for a lot of fighters, all may not be elite fighters but the styles meshing together could make for some entertaining fights.

Some good points raised in this video. Seems like Kownacki turned down $7M to fight Joshua. A fight he probably would have lost but loosing to AJ for $7M is a lot better than loosing to Helenius for a few $100g's.
