How so? He is touted as being one of the best MWs ever, while having defended his title against one guy since winning it.Whittaker is the most underrated champ ever.

Izzy is far more technical than Romero. Power doesn't mean everything. You seriously can't say just cause Romero couldnt finish Rob then Izzy can't. Izzy is a far better striker than Romero. Romero loses nearly every fight until he lands a killing blow.If Romero couldnt put him away i dont think Adesanya can . I dont know how much that war affected his chin though
Darren Till is Adesanya’s wrestling coach
Romero has way more power/explosiveness though.Adesanya is a significantly better and more active striker than Romero.
Power doesn't mean everything, but it sure does help. Having the strength to land a killing blow has worked wonders for Yoel.Izzy is far more technical than Romero. Power doesn't mean everything.

That is true but he hit Whittaker way, way less times than I expect Stylebender to hit Whittaker.Romero has way more power/explosiveness though.
1 clean shot from Romero & I think Adesanya might actually be the first death in the octagon. Dude thinks he's the second coming, but I bet he fizzles once he starts facing legit competition, like the last dozen or so hype trains.Romero has way more power/explosiveness though.
Significant better at what? Yes his technical striking is better but saying he's a way better striker than romero is just straight up false. Romero himself is a great and dangerous counter strikerAdesanya is a significantly better and more active striker than Romero.
So you're saying that romero isn't a great striker because he has a wrestling background?I believe Whittaker struggles with pure strikers. He does well against wrestlers/grapplers because of his amazing TDD and usually has the advantage in the striking realm against those guys. He was able to beat Brunson, Jacare and Romero (first fight) because of his TDD and being able to lit them up on the feet. He got beat by Wonderboy. Romero changed training coaches and adopted a new boxing style which gave Whittaker hell. Mousasi has been claimed as a bad matchup for Whittaker.
Yeah and believe it or not Izzy has KO power too. Not on Yoels level but he has 80% KO rate.Power doesn't mean everything, but it sure does help. Having the strength to land a killing blow has worked wonders for Yoel.
That's why I'm not buying into him yet. He hasn't shown me much and his level of competition hasn't been that impressive either. Kelvin will be a good test for him.but I bet he fizzles once he starts facing legit competition
There's definitely levels to this and Izzy isn't on Yoel's level yet. Power-wise, Yoel has one punch KO power while Izzy has to land quite a few to get a guy hurt.Yeah and believe it or not Izzy has KO power too. Not on Yoels level but he has 80% KO rate.
He's a significantly better striker.... Just stop. Romero's power is what saves him in striking. He has good defense but an extremely low output and not much variance in strikes.Significant better at what?

Holy shit you're so fucking ignorant and dumb.Izzy is far more technical than Romero. Power doesn't mean everything. You seriously can't say just cause Romero couldnt finish Rob then Izzy can't. Izzy is a far better striker than Romero. Romero loses nearly every fight until he lands a killing blow.
No he's not, that's just straight up false.He's a significantly better striker.... Just stop. Romero's power is what saves him in striking. He has good defense but an extremely low output and not much variance in strikes.
