i think hes possibly as good as 4th in the world, but possibly lower too
hes pretty obviously not the second best. aj would just ko him again. hed lose pretty much every round in a wide ud to fury. have his moments vs wilder but get flattened eventually. he could possibly beat guys like povetkin and miller etc but i could see him losing those too. vs ortiz, he could be splated out, but ort is pretty slow and one paced and i could see him outworking and outlasting the old guy
Can’t argue with any of that, still the most deserving of a shot though.

i dont think hes number 2, but could he possibly have the style and toughness to drag joshua into a war and knock him out? we've seen bigger upsets before, and both have come along way since the first fight.
possibly their styles and personalities will always make for a good scrap?
... or joshua is just leagues ahead.

If (I hope) they fight again, we'll know if Dill's shoulder was problematic in the first fight.
