    he Ko'd Joyce on 9-23 the fight was 12-23 there was no Way Zhang would of took that fight so soon and the fight also took place because Joshua was making a point in destroying somebody who arguably beat Fury.

    That's funny since Whyte Ko'd Chisora how did Joyce do with an older and even more faded Chisora?

    It's called common sense just like when Scott took a dive for the fraud.

    Triangle theories don't really work bud.
    It's not common sense, or are you suggesting Helenius took a dive against AJ too?

    no it isn't. unless you have mental issues. i once knew a guy thought torturing animals was funny, so maybe. who knows what weirdos find funny. but i seriously doubt you were actually laughing at all.

    He said it's one of the funniest things "he's read on here". It's a boxing forum, not an animal torture forum.

    I would not go so far as to call Anthony Joshua a fraud. He avenged his loss to Ruiz and may have won the Lineal Heavyweight title if he had gotten to Wladimir Klitschko before Tyson Fury did.

    His fights with Usyk...

    Fight 1 Official Scoring: 117–112, 116–112 and 115–113 all for Usyk.
    Fight 2 Official Scoring: 116–112 and 115–113 for Usyk, and 115–113 for Joshua.
    I saw both fights and I would not say that Joshua performed that badly against a fighter, who many today think of as an all time great.

    I think Joshua is not as good as some thought he was, but is probably not as bad as some think today. He is still a pretty good fighter. Joshua vs. Fury would have been interesting and I always thought he would have beaten Wilder.

    I think this is fair, and I will add, people can think what they want about how good he is, but he is going to be remembered as an ATG of some sort, period. He has spent longer on the top and had more top end wins than guys like Patterson, Norton, and Bowe, who are recognized as kind of third-tier ATG fighters, so Joshua is at least going to lead that pack.

    Whether he climbs into that second tier is going to depend on what he does from here on in...but he has time left. 34 is younger than Usyk, Fury, Zhang, Joyce, Chisora, Whyte, and Wilder, and the same age as Ruiz. A lot of those rivals are going to age out, or already have.

    Not that I disagree with you overall, but are you sure that scorecards are a good argument? Especially for the second fight with the spectacular scoring by Glenn Feldman

    I thought Dubois would say something like "you know what happened" or "yeah I dropped you" but he didn't say nothing like that.

    I think the point is he was competitive enough vs Usyk not to be called a fraud
