    Joshua would beat Floyd.
    Oh, and it seems that casuals don't really care about a fighters record.
    Many though Pacquiao had only lost once before facing Floyd.
    It's the high profile fights that count.

    The most annoying one I always hear is:

    "Why don't he hit him!"

    anyone who has a loss on their record is a bum - any casual boxing fan.

    Casuals:
    "Mike Tyson is the best heavyweight of the last 30 years."
    "Floyd would have beaten robotic Wladimir Klitschko."
    "Floyd fought Pac roided."
    "Pac fought Floyd roided."
    "Floyd is the best boxer of all time."
    "Pac is the best boxer of all time."
    "My daddy can whip your daddy."
    "Fighter [X] is afraid of my favorite fighter because everyone knows that's the only possible reason this fight hasn't been made yet."

    Hardcores:
    "Everyone knows John L. Sullivan would have smashed Anthony Joshua because boxers today aren't as good as those of the past."
    "Joe Louis beats Vitali Klitschko - just look at their resumes."
    "H2H matches between historical and modern fighters are completely legitimate and objective conversations."

    PS - I love this forum for these precise reasons (and others).

    :clapclap:

    SambaKing dropping gems in here, I particularly enjoyed his 'casuals have the clarity' theory (@CST80 Martin pick against Joshua seems a good example of fancy play syndrome from contrarian boxing hardcore, or joke pick?)
