    Joshua has beaten two top five havyweights: The King of Bland (Parker) and a 38 year old who has feasted on gatekeepers and maybe one or two fringe contenders since Wlad schooled him. If you think that trumps beating a pfp talent or reigning champion of a division, I can't help you.

    Your talking rubbish, let's stick to facts. Wlad was an ATG, consensus best in the division behind Fury who was on hiatus. Parker was ranked at three and Povetkin was ranked at four. Whyte is now currently ranked at five. Joshua emphatically KOd three of them, three stoppages in which none of the fighters could continue, the other he beat on points.

    On top of that he has beaten Breazeale is ranked top ten, Takam who was top fifteen and then Charles who was ranked top ten at the time though I didnt personally. Add in Molina and Johnson and in 22 fights his resume shits on the majority of boxers.

    Brook wasn't champion of his division, he edged a beltholder and then fought domestic opposition for two years before getting his eye.socket shattered by GGG.

    Rigondeaux barely boxers and lost his last fight one sided my and then quit. His last decent win at world level was five years ago, five years. He is pretty much irrelevant, next you'll be bringing up Roy Jones resume because he decides to fight another random domestic level opponent in Siberia.

    Wlad was an inactive 40 y/o who hadn't won a fight in years. Ranked, he was not. Do you rate Zoo's win over Chavez? With that said, it's better than Josh's other wins (Pov has a case).

    Parker earned his ranking, but it was also clear that he sucked going into that fight and didn't have the power for an upset. By "earned his ranking," I mean narrowly beat a few fringe contenders.

    Whyte was unranked and injured. I disagree with anyone saying he's top five when Ortiz (Whyte ducked him), Fury, Wilder, and Povetkin are in the divison.

    Compare to Eleider Alvarez: Alvarez dusted the man who was arguably number 1 in the division and still bottoming out pfp rankings. He also stopped a former champ who had come off a draw with Jack (Bute), and beat another former champ in Pascal. He also beat Chilemba who was ranked and undefeated other than going 0-1-1 with Bellew and some forgettable loss in one of his first fights.

    His win over Kovalev is better than anyhting Joshua has.

    So your basically happy to make excuses as to why Joshua's opponents weren't as good as their rankings but completely overlook everyone else's just to meet you agenda.

    Yeah there's no point in us carrying on, you won't be waivers on your agenda and are using a personal dislike to cloud your judgment. I had conversations like this before, it's utterly pointless, enjoy disliking people you don't know though.

    Pacman sure

    Loma and Usyk? No. Joshuas resume is easily better than both of theirs.

    Are you angry? If you want to believe that Parker and the frayed incarnations of Wlad and Povetkin are excellent scalps, be my guest. His resume is serious if he beats the winner of Wilder/Fury, but it’ll be tough enough getting him to agree to it.

    Joshua has the best resume off all active heavyweights, no doubt. Credit where credit is due.

    There will be another 10 active boxers who have better resumes. Could change in the next year or so though.

    Alvarez - In reality he's 0-4 against the best fighters he's fought, (Mayweather, Lara and GGG) Lara and GGG I especially were terrible robberies.
    Golovkin - Should have 2 wins over Canelo which would make his resume comparable to Joshua's, however his 2 official best wins are natural WW Brook and glass chinned cancer survivor Jacobs
    Usyk - Agree with this one
    Lomachenko - As above
    Sor Rungvisai - Also as above
    Crawford - Also as above
    Leo Santa Cruz - Also as above
    Abner Mares - Agree with that one also
    Spence - Best wins Brook and Peterson, not as good as AJ's resume IMO
    Rigondeaux - Has only really one great win which is Donaire

    Obviously Pac and Gonzalez have better resumes as they've been around for a lot longer

    AJ's resume is nowhere near Loma's. No disrespect to any boxer but Wlad was probably only pound for pound top 10 when AJ beat him. Loma beat Linares and Rigo who were both easily top 10.. let alone the rest of his wins

    His resume against his respective peers at HW
    is quite good.

    I'm not gonna say it's one of the best in boxing.

    Good resume but Wlad and Povetkin were old.
