Literally
no one thinks that (judges, media, the fighters)
If you find yourself in a situation where you think the rest of the entire world knowledgeable about something is wrong, you are likely the bozo.
- Dustin is about to have the last fight of his career and is well outside his prime
- Dustin and JG are 1-1, when they were both in their prime, Dustin put him away in a fun fight
- Max out classed Justin over 5 rounds then literally beat him to sleep.
Dustin is retiring because he doesn't have it anymore. JG never had it - his entire career almost as a rule, he loses to ranked fighters. Getting to go 1-1 with Dustin was the exception not the rule.
Justin is solidly top 10 and a fun fighter, no he is not a contender. He is not on that skill level and has never been on that skill level, which is why he gets blown out of the water against elite fighters.
