    AJ is far from perfect, but even if we compare him with great giant (6'5'' and over) HWs, he does some things better than them which means they weren't perfect fighters too.

    Comparing to Wlad: AJ has MUCH better uppercut and body punching, has more versatile offence.

    Comparing to Lewis: AJ has better left hook and MUCH better body punching.

    Comparing to Bowe: AJ has MUCH better determination.

    Comparing to Vitali: AJ has way more power, better uppercutt, better body punching.

    I'm not saying I would favour AJ to beat any of them prime for prime, I'm just saying that perfection was never seen in boxing, let alone amongst huge heavyweights.

    Oh I agree, I never meant Joshua was perfect I mean punch perfect... the way he throws hes punches are perfect technique.

    Perfect execution... line up the wrist... twist the knuckle.. retract quickly... good combination and timing on shots...

    Othet heavyweights have terrible punch technique ...
    some dont punch they slap!!

    AJ cross, jab, hook, uppercut are all punch perfect is what I meant.

    Progressive overload. That's why he will reign the division for an even longer time than the Klitschkos.

    That last paragraph was a useless inclusion. Canelo went in there with the most technically sound boxer he could have fought. Did it against Lara too, to an extent, and pretty much did it again with Golovkin.


    In the HW division, Klitschko and Povetkin were/are the 'Most technically sound boxers he could have fought'.

    And he did it against Klitschko.....
    He did it against Povetkin too.


    Are you saying he shouldn't fight Wilder then because Wilder is less 'Technically sound' than most of the top 10?


    Hughie Fury 'Technically sound'? He couldn't even handle Parker, the HW version of Chris Eubank JR.

    This doesn’t warrant a lengthy response. Don’t ever reply to a post of mine slandering Hughie’s technical ability. I come here to discuss boxing with genuine fans, not complete idiots.

    He can't be that 'Technically sound' if he's losing a decision to Joseph Parker without getting dropped!

    Hughie was robbed?


    He was fighting in England, on his English Promoters card, with Terry O'Connor as a judge yet was robbed?
