    Hes over hyped but not a hype job, has p4p skills and gone up many weight classes. His destruction of gary russell jr is still an amazing win considering how good gary is. What I saw in that pedraza fight worried me, might be age catching up to him or weight classes getting too big. p4p #1 doesn't look that beaten up fighting pedraza level opponents (pedraza isn't a joke either)

    That's false. Leo Santa Cruz moved up to featherweight in May of 2015. Lomachenko didn't move up to super feather until June of 2016.

    If Canelo with his arguably four gift decisions, is elite, then Joshua damn sure is elite.

    You're definition of "shot" is seriously ****ed up. Im a big Wilder fan and even admit that "draw" was a gift.

    He's a 6'9 fighter. To be that tall, coordinated, skilled, and fast is beyond dizzying. I've boxed the better half of 35 years, watched it my whole life, whole family boxed and is fans....... I'm telling you, that package never comes around, regardless how featherfisted he is and prone to ****ing up outside the ring.

    Yea, possibly, I just don't think he clearly is as much as Canelo. I only have him receiving 3 gifts off the top of my head too - GGG x 2 and Lara. IMO he beat Trout. You're gonna drop some and have some close ones when you consistently fight the best.

    Trout outworked Canelo in damn near every round. But yeah.

    Loma's skills are legitimate. He is an elite boxing technician, however he is not at legendary status because he haven't fought the fights needed to place him there.
