    Big Josh's career could be over at world level if he takes the BRUTHA USKY rematch.

    So who was his best win?

    41 year old, inactive Klitschko coming directly from the Fury loss. Klitschko had it all stacked against him, with judges obviously enjoying satisfactory imbursement.

    That's the only 50-50 he had, up until being schooled by Usyk.

    That's the difference between "top 10" wins against puddings and actually competing against the best.

    His best win is obviously Klitschko. None of the others come remotely close.

    The Parker win is underrated to be honest, Joshua schooled a prime Parker showing a different side to his game, although the referee never let them fight on the inside.

    Wlad obviously, but I actually rate the Povetkin win higher than Parker. Yeah Povetkin was old but he was overall a better fighter than Parker and at least came to knock AJ out.. Parker was just happy to go 12. Sasha went out swinging

    Whyte KO probably his best IMO. He didn't look gun shy back then and it was a sweet KO. At the time both were quite raw but Whyte has gone on to be one of the best fighters of this era

    Probably Povetkin who although he was on the slide was still an elite level fighter at that time.

    How any 1 rates Parker is beyond me a heavyweight that doesn't try to knock out his opponents bang average and one most boring fighters in division.

    Prime Parker - Prime Undercoat was the ceiling for Paint Dry Parker.

    Even Hughie Fury ran him close.

    LOL at this thread. Including Wlad but making sure you make him look like absolute dog **** before you include him and forget about a completely respectable opponent in Povetkin who was better than Ruiz or Parker.

    You AJ haters are so ****ing pathetic it's unreal.

    To be fair though, you could start saying this about a lot of heavyweights. What is wilder’s best win? An old Luis Ortiz. Doesn’t mean Wilder isn’t one of the best heavys.

    Carlos " Clubber Lang " Takam. The most dangerous small, old, underpowered gatekeeper ever to have lost, multiple times, in a British ring.

    AJs CV is sensational.
