    how is joshua even ranked at number 2 ?

    since joshua got systemically beat twice by usyk he had 4 fights :

    ngannou - 0-1 mma fighter
    wallin - top 20 at best
    helenius - old journeyman coming off a brutal ko1 loss
    franklin - journeyman

    its a joke really

    take a look at the guys below him all way better wins than joshuas not even debatable

    Parker wins over zhang and wilder
    Zhang wins over joyce x2 and wilder
    Kabayel wins over sanchez and makhmudov
    Dubois wins over hrgovic and miller

    Its a disgrace that joshua is so high in the rankings and its even a bigger disgrace that hes getting a title shot next all this while ducking all the top guys joyce fury zhang wilder etc

    The guy is a total manufactured and protected fraud

    The heavyweight division has aj above Zhang, Parker, Kabayel. Someone's messing with the dials at headquarters

    Parker - Zhang has only two wins over top-200 ranked fighters, drew with Jerry Forrest and lost to gatekeeper (at best) Hrgovic. Wilder only has a couple of gatekeeper level wins, hasn't won a fight in several years (and that's the same Helenius you happily dunked on).

    Zhang - beat massively overhyped Joyce, who just needed a big enough puncher to crack the chin he was offering on a plate... Which Zhang was.

    Kabayel beat a couple of massively overhyped fighters in Makhmudov (pretty much a journeyman) and Sanchez (pretty similar)... His best win is still one of the worst versions of Chisora we've seen - and that was years ago.

    Dubois beat Hrgovic who was overhyped as hell, fought like a punk against Usyk (deliberately fouling and hoping to get away with it) beat fat Miller who huffed and puffed and couldn't put away a completely gassed Ruiz for round after round.



    The above is exaggerated, but it's an example of how easy it is to blow things out of all proportion if you're fixated on slamming someone.


    Joshua's clearly not the best fighter in the division, but he might be the second - he does have the deepest resume, too.

    AJ is the cash cow of the entire division

    Never be surprised that he gets elevated due to this

    Two of the those name you listed that he dusted easily gave Fury all he could handle.

    AJ easily has one of the best resumes in the entire division and has been one of the least protected fighters out of the previous 'big 3'.


    If AJs a fraud what does that make Fury Parker Joyce and Wilder lol.




    Wait, you think AJ ducked Joyce and Wilder lol.


    This is a funny thread all around.

    I'm pretty neutral towards AJ... don't like or dislike him. But he clearly has a decent resume and deserves to be top 3.
    He has more top quality wins than Zhang or Parker... has beat Parker already, and is about to face Dubois. Plus had the stones to face Usyk twice (it took Fury 2 years to get in the ring with him). He kind of straddled the previous era too (Wlad, Povetkin etc). And beat guys Fury struggled with (I don't rate Wallin or Ngannou particularly, but Fury legitimised them - especially Ngannou) so I think your argument lacks nuance.

    @Thunderstorm isn't funny like "ha-ha" funny. Rather, funny like "please don't reproduce" funny.

    I remember a time when trolling was an art form... not whatever the hell this is.
