Someone explain the forced narrative of AJ having The Best HW Resume

Giving Fury credit for beating Hammer, Cunningham, Johnson and Chisora but not giving AJ credit for beating Povetkin, Klitschko, Pulev is hilarious and a brilliant way to convey just how deluded and biased Fury fans can be haha.

 

He did. You know Wlad’s fiancée was going through post partum depression and needed to be institutionalised while Klitschko was in camp for the Fury fight.

Based on the rankings at the time of the fight:

Top 10 wins
Joshua has 6
Povetkin has 5
Fury has 3 (arguably 4 unofficially)
Wilder has 3
Ruiz Jr/Whyte/Parker/Ortiz/Usyk have 1

PBO are algorithm based, and used to calculate the rankings for the IBO.

I prefer referencing algorithm based rankings, but I now avoid referencing boxrec since they changed their algorithm mid-last year and messed up all their historical and current ratings. ( e.g. Wilder is currently a P4P top 10 on Boxrec, and their #2 Heavyweight)

It's pretty clear from the above why many think Joshua has the best resume.

 

Well he lost to Ruiz so that hurt his resume but if hadnt then he'd have the most names. Parker, Whyte, Klitchsko, Povetkin.

 

Wilder is prime unbeaten and a long raining champ

 

Agreed pal.

 

Don't get me wrong windmill like a mofo but it worked and no one beat him

 

But he has the third best resume behind Joshua and Fury
Chisora 2x
Oscar Rivas
Joseph Parker
Hell you can even add Mariusz Wach as he has a win over Kevin Johnson


He's not elite but he's a top 10

 

Some boxers seem to put on the performance of their career when faced with adversity outside of the ring, other don't. I think it's a little silly to chalk that performance solely down to wlad personal life. Did it play a part? Good chance it did....Did the fact that wlad was fighting someone taller than him who moved around the ring alot better than he did play a part? I'd imagine so

 

When a Wealthy Peasant needs more money, he starts doing everything possible to get there...

On the bright side inflating value...makes for a great crash, because the Wealthy peasant will eventually want to maximize the final cash out, when its no longer possible to inflate Joshua value anymore (after Fury is done with him)...Hearn will go for the highest value cashout, an exciting fight series vs Deontay Wilder until Anthony Joshua is no longer capable of getting into the ring....

So in a way, its a good thing, eventually the Zakman and his Saidstic fans will get the dopamine jolt they need...

Andy Snickers Ruiz ruined the opportunity for Anthony Joshua to jump ship & leave us Undefeated...so now he is in the Gladiator position....he just has to fight to survive....Real hard fights ahead of him

 

I prefer Fury's wins over Wlad and Wilder, very significant in historic terms. Joshua's beat a paper champion in Parker and Martin. Povetkin and Pulev never stood a chance against the Klitschsko's. Whyte and Brezeale won't win a world title. Ruiz was inactive and munching on a crate of tacos before he dismantled that useless bodybuilder. And Wlad was not holding the belts when Joshua beat him.

 

Well Povetkin has a better resume for starters. I thought he clearly lost the first Chisora fight and he's hardly the only man to beat him. Parker win was good but he was helped by the referee ignoring those head butts. Rivas win good too but close.
Wach almost beat Whyte guys like Bakole are beating him by KO.

 

Wallin beats Whyte.

 

He has a better resume than any current HW right now. Historically, his resume isn't that good - but then what does that say about all the other HW's?No one (outside Povetkin & Chisora) comes close to fighting the level of opposition AJ has.
