    Both are certainly hype jobs. Joshua’s record is so ridiculously carefully crafted. Paper thin.

    Which fights? Cause I feel like he faced everyone he should've with the exception of Wilder and that was more Wilders fault

    I think a hype job is someone more like Edgar Berlanga.

    Whyte - inexperienced, out of shape, injured after he clocked Joshua. Was on the operating table days later,
    Martin - belt bought
    Breazeale - absolutely hopeless, failed American football player, billed as “top 10”and lapped up by fans
    Molina - as above, took a dive.
    Takam - old, tiny, short notice, useless. As above, billed “top 10” and had beaten nobody
    Parker - an absolute stinker of epic proportions. Parker insanely overrated.
    Povetkin - old, had just been dropped by British level Price.
    Pulev - hopeless, absolutely crap. Was rubbish 6 years prior.
    Klitschko - only 50-50 Joshua won in his entire career. And that was against old, inactive, coming off a loss and retiring Klitschko in Wembley.
    Rice Pudding jr - the most embarrassing defeat ever. Best him in rematch as he was even fatter and this was billed as a big win only by virtue of the fact he had lost to the pudding.

    All wins at home except neutral Saudi.

    Bland, carefully constructed and overrated. Joshua is nowhere near the actual top dogs of the division and never has been.

    I disagree with the never has been. He was the number 1 guy for me when Fury was gone and Usyk was at cruiser

    Wilder would have knocked Joshua's head clean off.

    Hamed achieved far more.

    Prince Naseem a hype job?

    Why?

    Yes he lost to Barrera, but his skills and overwhelming wins during his career speak for themselfs. I cant call Hamed a hype job he was too good. Loosing to Barrera is no shame.

    Blame Warren for not matching up Naz early on against the best fighters of his generation.

    When Naz stepped up a level he got exposed, his fundamentals were awful.

    Aside from Calzaghe, he was the real deal.

    Neither was or is near the level of a prime Calzaghe. Savannah Marshall is a better finisher than Naz was and more skilled than AJ.

    Hatton was better than both of them.

    He's great but kind of overrated. Was facing weak opp for years
