Top 5 AJ wins

A 280 pound Ruiz with a belt is still better than a green Whyte or Otto Wallin.

 

41 Klitschko his best win...

That's a tell...

 

I see that you don’t do context. The Parker and Ruiz wins were absolute stinkers. Povetkin was ancient and had just been put over by Price who’s British level

 

Wladimir was rated as the #1 HW at the time.
Fury was not fighting at the time, so who else do you think he should have fought?
Wilder wasn't rated as highly as Wladimir then and his best win at the time was arguably Stiverne
Who would you have suggested?

 

It was also over 7 years ago.

He should have accomplished more is all

 

It’s a poor list.

The fact that he’s still comfortably the third or arguably the second best boxer of this generation/era shows exactly the amount of ducking and diving that goes on amongst the top guys.

 

So? It was still a stinker, and therefore to regard it as a feather in the cap is a bit weird. Parker was beaten by Dillian Whyte and absolutely obliterated by Joe Joyce, boxers who many regard as not much above British level. The Parker Joyce obliterated beyond comprehension was a much better version who actually came to fight. There's nothing worse than not coming to fight. He didn't throw a punch and the referee excuse is a moot point given how toothless Parker is. Mike Tyson and others with sufficient motivation wouldn't have let that referee get in his way.

Povetkin was old and had just been dropped by British level Pricey.

Andy Ruiz was a blob. Sunny Edwards would've beaten him.

 

The era was a 4 way thing after Fury ended the Klitchsko era.

Joshua - Wilder - Fury - Usyk

It's hard to assess Joshua's legacy, he didnt fight 2 of the other 3 and he lost decisively twice to the other.

His best wins are possibly taking the 0's of Whyte and Parker, then after beating Vlad who was coming off a loss and 1 fight in 3 years, it's much of a muchness.

Some good B level wins over the likes of an old povetkin, an old Pulev and a 280lb Ruiz.

Theres a good consistency to Joshua's work but hes never beaten the big names and had the elite wins, which means he never quite gets the respect he craves.

It does seem a long time ago since he had any kind of significant win.

 

Apologies Mac, one fight in nearly 2 years coming off a loss
