Is Anthony Joshua the most overrated champion of all time?

Joshua doesn't come close to Lewis's greatness.

You say Lewis is overrated but his resume > everyone in this eras. You calling Usyk or Fury the H2H goat is you overrating them more than Lewis has ever been considering their records are less stacked

 

No , he is a very good fighter top 4 in this current division..

Just got beat by an ATG no shame in that..

 

AJ could have vacated and avoided Usyk he did not because he does not roll like that. There was a rematch and Usyk was only to glad to grant it in the original contract because AJ brings the money and Usyk and his family are grateful for the generational wealth both fights with AJ have provided. The world governing bodies will want to give AJ cracks at their titles because of the interest and money he brings. Yes I understand you don’t like AJ and in fact you hate Eddie Hearn more but that’s on you not them. You sound as if you are morally superior to them yet if they walked into a room you were in , I bet you would want their autographs. Your post is devoid of any objectivity whatsoever. AJ did not steal the belts he won them fair and square in the ring Sammy. For someone who refers to themselves as the moneymaker and as a moderator I am disappointed. You can do better. Nobody says you have to love AJ and Hearn but you can at least acknowledge they have been great for boxing and I say this as a PBC guy. Yes Fastcar Eddie Hearn has his faults.

 

Lewis wasn`t out-boxed v Mercer, it was a close brawl with both fighters landing freely on each other, Mercer was better than 90% of AJ`s opponents.

 

Fair points, however Usyk had a far shorter reach than AJ and had far less power and being top 4 in this current heavyweight division isn`t tyhat great a thing.

 

Is this your way of coping with the fact that Joshua got whooped by his superior ?

Claiming Joshua provided them with "generational wealth" even though Usyk was already a millionaire ?

 

The AJ hype machine - which should die down now - was the main issue. Joshua is an excellent heavyweight whatever happens from here.

 

If Joshua is the worst champion of all time but has a better resume then any heavyweight today, then that speaks volumes of the division as it is now.

Usyk took the belts off Joshua and beat him again, so surely that means Usyk has actually fought nobody at heavyweight by way of Joshua being the worst champion right?

Where do you guys get your **** from? He didn’t live upto the hype but he has actually done very well considering his limited skill set

 

For AJ to get another shot at a title he should have to beat Wilder or Joyce.

It's more likely that Usyk & Fury vacate all the belts after they've fought and AJ gets thrown a belt for free (AGAIN)

Depending how badly Fury beats Usyk will determine if they bother with a rematch.

AJ has never had to beat "The man" for a belt...or even a medal. All gifted.

 

In this Era Fury makes most fighters at that weight mediocre. Throwing the word Bum out there just says so much about you. AKA you must be lower than a bum as you have achieved Sweet FA in boxing or life for that matter

 

If you're not the best, you're a bum.

 

For a while, some people were calling him h2h the greatest HW in history, and said there was no one historically that could stand up to his power over 12.............up until the Ruiz loss.

Y'all don't remember that? I'd say that was overrated as hell.

 

Solid resume - avenged his first and embarrassing defeat decisively(that was his Rahman I) lost decisively twice to an ATG fighter. Not anywhere near being the most overrated champion of all time.

 

Gifted gold
Gifted his first belt
Lost to a fatman on 3 weeks notice
Lost to a middleweight twice then cried
Gift stoppage against 50 year old Takam
Beating up OAP Wlad, Povetkin, Pulev

Bum city dosser. He will get chinned in the future by an underdog or any young cat with some life in them.

A good big man who can stick it on him will make him fold up like a lawn chair. Fury or Joyce will do it.
