    AJ because Norton never won the title in the ring unfortunately for him. However if you are asking whose physique was better that is a tough one. We need to get the ladies to judge that one. Both were are and were magnificent physical specimens.

    "AJ because Norton never won the title in the ring unfortunately for him."

    If we're being honest, he should have become champion against Ali at Yankee Stadium.

    Norton, his win over Ali trumps anything that Joshua has done

    Rubbish.

    It's not about titles, ITS ABOUT WHO YOU BEAT, WHEN YOU BEAT THEM AND HOW YOU BEAT THEM.

    AJ has NEVER beat a reigning champion, he is bodybuilding bum who got gifted every single belt and medal. HE IS A FRAUD. Norton is no fraud.

    Who got smacked around by a little fat guy who just left the buffet?

    Reigning champions AJ beat. Ruiz, Martin, Parker, Jesus can you at least try to fact check the B.S you just spewed.

    Belly is the worse fraud.

    1) Belly was KOed by Wilder in the first fight, dishonest ref gave him a long count
    2) Belly was beaten by a boxing novice Ngannou, who AJ easly KOed
    3) avoided Usyk for 2 years, wasted his time
    4) poor sport, Belly refuses to admit he lost to Usyk, AJ does not deny his losses
    5) refused to honor the contracted rematch with W Klitschko
    6) Belly is continuing to avoid AJ, who has been trying for ten years to get a fight with him

    Norton was stopped quite a few times himself. I would say Norton arguably beat Ali 2/3 (I agree) not all 3 also.

    Charles Martin wins a now defunct stripped vacant IBF belt against Glazkov then AJ buys it - NOT A REIGNING CHAMPION, A BUM
    Andy Ruiz wins KO's the bodybuilding BUM on 2 weeks notice then loses it again - NOT A REIGNING CHAMPION, McDonalds Jr.
    The only thing reigning about Parker is his lack of fight down the stretch which always shows.

    AJ is a fraud, should have fought Wilder but both of them were scared of each other.

    If I go out and buy a belt off my mates at the IBF not defend it once then Eddie Hearn gets my 5'4" 110 pound butt into the ring to get raped by AJ, that doesn't make me a reigning champion, It makes me a BUM and AJ only feeds on bums with no power.
