Joshua all-time ranking after hypothetically beating Usyk, then Fury, then Wilder, then retiring

As far-fetched as the idea may be, it's not exactly impossible and I'm curious to know where you would rank him had that happened.

I've been rewatching his fights and trainings today and it looks to me like he's generally underrated these days.

He's not stellar in any particular aspect of the game - except athleticism - but good to very good in all of them except, perhaps, the chin. Very good power, underrated skills, heart, work ethics and willingness to learn and develop make him a challenge to anybody, including Fury (even if I wouldn't bet on him in this particular fight, things happen at HW).

He surely has the deepest heavyweight resume of all the current champions and contenders. He's an Olympic gold medalist who from the very start set the bar high for himself as a pro. Didn't built his record fighting cans and until Usyk he beat every opponent he's ever faced which is quite impressive to think looking at his boxrec page.

He would have to be VERY high, surely?

 

All my likes are from a few days since I came back from before-there-were-likes-on-here era
But I take it that you don't find my scenario plausible enough to entertain the thought

 

I think Wilder is very doable for AJ, I would favour him to win actually.

I doubt he pulls off the Usyk mauling but there's certainly a reasonable chance he wins, especially since we don't really know how the war situation plus possibly weight gain and aging affect Usyk.

In a fight with Fury he would probably need some "luck"/extraordinary circumastances to win, I agree.

 

Lets say a very close and controversial, but not outrageous decision vs Usyk (losing most rounds but making up for them with a couple od knockdowns).

A "lucky" KO of Fury, who's handling him quite easily but gets too comfortable and it suddenly turns out the Wilder fights damaged his chin very much.

And a late KO of Wilder who had his moments but couldn't land the eraser and lost most rounds on the way.
