    Lol. After Fury abandoned the division because of coke and PEDs use, Joshua fought the best he could get his hands on as aggressively as he could. That is a matter of historical record.

    Sure.

    After Fury left do to Cocaine and PEDS use, Joshua fought Klitschko, Povetkin, Parker, Ruiz, Martin, Uysk, and has already gotten Whyte. That is pretty much everyone there was to fight outside of Wilder, who admitted to turning the fight down to fight comebacking Fury. He got everyone he could get his hans on.

    The only point in his career he went easy was after Usyk..after some rebuilders he took on Dubois.

    Whatever he wants, he is still the fighter every single he on the planet wants to fight. He is from a fighters standpoint the biggest fight they can get financially. They will all be desperate to fight him.

    Joshua has had a career of gimme fights FFS - apply context before every fight.

    The non gimme fights he had were Usyk twice and Dubois in his whole career.

    Never listen to Hearn's shyte.

    If Joshua was even 10% as good as Hearn boasted, he would still be unbeaten.

    There were three main players at the top of a shyte era and only 2 faced each other.

    Joshua went full Daffy Duck with Wilder and history has been repeated with the Dubois rematch.

    Chicken Joshua anyone?

    Someone please point out the attributes of an ATG - I must be missing something obvious.

    Uh, no.

    Wilder has admitted to accepting less money to face Fury. He said so himself.

    After the second Wilder fight, they were in negotiations with Fury, and the court ruled Fury had to face Wilder again.

    It isn't his fault Wilder declined to fight him. It isn't his fault Fury went out on Coke and PEDs charges. It isn't his fault that when Fury came back, he chose to fight Wilder instead. It isn't his fault that Fury and Wilder agreed to a rubber if it went one and one.

    Blaming Joshua is revisionist history. He fought the best he could get in the ring, and has fought 3-4 guys better than Wilder anyway.

    Joshua only fought 2 live fighters and lost 3 times.

    The rest were rank rotten with his best win Joey 12, 40 year old Pedvetkin or Dullian Shyte - the CV is pony.

    The modern day Matt Skelton made a fortune courtesy of Mr Hearn's ability to sell the mug public a pup.

    The shrewdies on here knew Joshua was very limited when he fought for the British Title.

    He is not taking the Dubois rematch or fighting Bakole for a reason - he will be obliterated by both.

    Joshua was more than happy to fight old men such as Sprott and Skelton but not willing himself to face up and coming Fabio Wardley types as they would probably knock his head off as well.

    Joshua was always a paper champion and dodging the Dubois rematch confirms that he is a coward.

    @Beale putting this yankee doodle back in his box. He doesn't mince his words does Beale.

    This bloke thinks Joshua faced everybody when his record is bone dry. You couldn't make it up.

    I have delineated it for you. He has gotten the best in the ring that will fight him. Wilder has refused, and Fury had his drug problems, and then chose to get into a three-bout series with Wilder.

    Nothing Joshua can do, and that is the history of it.

    As for insulting who he fought, maybe you don' like the era. It's the best Joshua could do.

    As for losing some fights...yeah...the other guy wants to win two. That is not the same as saying that he wouldn't fight Fury and Wilder, which is manifestly not true.

    Fact - Joshua has never faced an opponent for the first time as an underdog.

    Fact 3 - Joshua was never that good to be close to using words such as elite or great.

    Sadly some mugs still believe he is - unbelievable Jeff.
