margaret thatcher wrote: ↑04 Apr 2021, 23:30 there is a lot of jah love, almost a craze. i am curious what people think he's already capable of

who of the following, if any, do you think he beats now:

whyte Not now. Whyte would rough him up and bully him. Man against boy.

parker I think Parker is too experienced. Has he slipped though? Anderson might be more challenging than Junior Fa.

wallin Anderson is bigger, faster, and probably hits harder. He lacks experience and I'd make Wallin a slight favourite right now however ...

usyk Unless age as suddenly caught up with Usyk I'd give Jared no chance atm.

chisora He'd need a very cool head but if he can keep Delboy at range it's possible. At this stage in his development it's a big ask though.

breazeale I'd fancy the real big baby to outbox Breazeale using his superior speed and athleticism. I don't think Dom is what he used to be, and that wasn't great.

helenius Anderson could win this but he would need all his ability to concentrate and maintain discipline. Jab and move. Don't be tempted to trade with this dangerous Finn.

charles martin I think Anderson is better in practically every department except experience. Obviously the longer he avoids Martin, the more his chances improve. Does he win now though? ... No ... Yes ... No ... Y'oh ferkit I dunno.

kownacki Prior to the loss to Helenius I'd have said Kownacki would be too strong, throw too many punches and put Jared under too much pressure. Is that still true now? I'd say yes but not with anywhere close to the same assurance.

mike hunter Hunter would beat him right now. A year from now

joyce Joyce too strong, too experienced, too just about everything ... for the moment.

ajagba Hasn't really impressed. I think my money would be on Anderson even now.

should we take that as 0-12 for jahster

"Efe Ajagba VS opponents (he can defeat within 6 months)"

I'm pretty sure most people have abandoned the Ajagba hype train by now, haven't they?

I’m not being funny, but Jared Anderson achieved absolutely nothing in the amateur ranks.

For sure, he might have gained a few medals at the US championships, but America isn’t really competitive globally in the unpaid ranks. People might believe otherwise, but they're not! It's that simple!

And he hasn’t achieved a damn thing yet in the pros either.

I get it, he’s a young fighter and time is on his side, but shouldn’t you guys learn from previous mistakes, by waiting to see if Anderson is capable of beating a half-decent opponent before hailing him as the “next big thing”?

It was only a few years ago when the majority of this forum prematurely bestowed Luis Ortiz an honorary rite of passage to being regarded as the best heavyweight on the planet without even requiring the need for verification.

And look how that turned out?

It's like history keeps repeating itself!!!
