Unbeaten heavyweight contender Jared “The Real Big Baby” Anderson (14-0, 14 KOs) says he’s ready for the top names in the division after crushing George Arias on Saturday night.
“I’m the best heavyweight in the world,” proclaimed Anderson. “I don’t give a f**k what nobody is talking about. You hear me? I made that look easy man because he helped me make it look easy. He wasn’t throwing punches for real. I kept my defense right. My jab was on point. It was an easy night.
“I want those top names. I want those top contenders. Everybody who keeps calling people out, put my name on the list now. I’m not ducking. I’m not running. And you goin’ to catch this smoke.”
Sorry, big baby, you ain’t good enough for the top. Take your blm loving self back to Akron .
LOL, Toledo.
yes, only top guys. and he beats most all of them now.
The obese version of the big baby would ko his ass.
As bad as the division is, he might have a point. While I wouldn’t exactly call him fast, he certainly looks fast relative to most of the slow, plodding and sloppy guys in the HW rankings.
Unfortunately for him fights between ranked HWs o ly seem to take place a few times a year.
Post fight adrenaline. He’s not ready yet. As of right now, the top 10 would take him into deep waters and possibly stop him. He needs to continue matching forward as he develops physically and mentally.
I think he will be making some serious noise in about 2 years with a busy schedule.
There’s a finite moment when a fighter goes from prospect to contender and I feel that time is right now for Anderson. He should start taking on big names from now on. I’d like to see him fight someone like Charles Martin or Dereck Chisora next, which he should get passed without too much difficulty and increase the level of competition from there. By this time next year, he should be ready to challenge for a world title. If you’re talking any version of the title, I say he beats Daniel Dubois or Joyce right now.
This was a mismatch that should have never been made. Anderson has been fed SOFT competition since day one. This is a hype job. Put him in with Joe Joyce, or even DDD, and Anderson is getting KTFO.
Typical opponents early in a HW career. Fury’s 14th opponent was Nascimento and prior to that fight his opposition was weaker than what Anderson has faced.
Joyce is probably a bridge too far for Anderson at this point but Dubois was bounced around like a rubber ball by Lerena, who is hardly considered a big puncher. Dubois would be an good step up at this point, or possibly Ajagba who is a good name who has shown a few glaring weaknesses lately.
That’s funny, I didn’t even read your comment about Joe Joyce or Daniel Dubois before I posted. People love to hate on Jared Anderson. Not comparing him in anyway, but people loved to hate and Mike Tyson too when he was coming up. The fact so many people are hating on Anderson tells me he’s the real deal. As far as Dubois and Joyce, with no exaggeration, I seriously think he would beat the both of them within 6 rounds on the same night. I’m no huge fan of Anderson either, I’m just stating what I see. Right now, the elite heavies are: Fury, Usyk, Wilder, Joshua, and Ruiz. I think their is a big drop off in talent after those guys. I don’t think Anderson is ready for the top 5, but I think he can take out anybody underneath them.
Anderson is cocky. Good. All smiles. Let’s see how many teeth has left after Joe Joyce beats him up. Cross apply that to DDD.
Deontay Wilder would stretch Anderson out. Bob is WAY to smart to allow that.
Joyce walks through his bum
its typical of todays youth ….trying to talk your way into a big money fight but realistically he gets brutally KOd by all of the current top 10 especially the top 5
Sanchez will put the L on this guy Anderson.
Possibly, but Sanchez is another heavyweight who is fighting nothing but bums and hasbeens.
I agree with your comments on Sanchez 100%, but his siutation is completely different. He’s very gifted, but his style is awful to watch. He’s always going to have a hard time because of it.
Efe Ajagba is a bum or a has been?
A battle of the big baby’s would be a hoot. Jared’s likely next fight is a faded Chisora or a now faded Joespeh Parker and sit on his bum waiting for a title shot or title eliminator. HWs do not take risks.
What??!!. Dubois took a risk against Joyce and Hrgovic against Zhang. We can always tell the casuals by their comments.
What he meant to say was “American Heavyweights” don’t take risks. Unfortunately, that would’ve been a true statement. Anderson’s team has been really good at finding no-hopers with good records. But he’s at a stage where he should step up and fight a guy. Maybe Bakole? Ajagba was floated below and that makes sense.
Yeah, Bakole. You know the guy that KTFO by that American Mike Hunter. You remember him.
I agree Chris there is a few HW fighters taking chances ,Sanchez vs Ajagba also both were undefeated at the time and I believe Ajagba was favored if im not mistaken….I thought Zhang won that fight.
Zhang vs Joyce is going to be good ,dont count out Zhang.
Joyce is top 3 in the world and you will see Saturday
Yes I will ,see you back here after.
Joyce is in top 15 and thats it ,but very one dimensional ,Zhang is th real deal.
I’m hoping they put him in with Ajagba next. He’s 23 and won’t be 24 until the end of the year which is a infant for a heavyweight so I can’t imagine they’ll rush him at all, but I think Ajagba is a good next step; if he’s asking for top guys, he should blow dominate Ajagba.
No, Ajagba has lights out power and is very aggressive with straight punches. Anderson would be stepping way up from his normal level of competition to fight that dude. That is a risky fight for Anderson, but would be a very good test for him. Honestly at this point that’s a 50-50 fight.
I think Ajagba’s power is very overrated Chris. I really do. I don’t think he’s one of the biggest punchers in the division at all and his record of 13 ko’s in 18 fights doesn’t suggest that either. I think top guys and a level of guys just beneath that don’t have much difficulty with Ajagba.
I don’t have a lot of confidence Anderson’s team will step that far up. But it would be a great fight because a win for either guy would propel them into the title conversation. I don’t think either would earn a shot based on that fight, but it would put them in line for big names and big money.
Maybe he should fight the other cheating Big Baby Fat Ass and see how he does against him.
OMG, how about you step up from 4th tier to 3rd tier and we’ll see how you do there first. Anderson definitely has potential but he needs to fight guys that will come at him with pressure and some level of punching power. He has yet to do that in his 14 fights.
I noted this above, but Anderson’s team has been great at finding mediocre fighters with attractive records. He’s passed every test, it’s time to put him in with a legit, hungry fighter.
Wow! Class act there, Jared.
Baby-man is going to get brutalized worst than wilder, if he thinks he can take over the top 10’s!
big baby is good against class b fighters how he would fair against top grade heavys is anybodys guess he doesnt look impressive who knows?
Why do fighters act as if they beat a world beater, big baby fought a no hoper and acted as if beat someone. Stop these type of fights, they prove nothing!
