    He's beat absolutely NO ONE

    he's the most plastic fake world champ ever

    unbelievable how Fury somehow got harshly stripped, Glazkov a total bum was somehow the mandatory, and somehow Martin - a guy who wasn't ranked in the top 100 overall .. was the next highest ranked available challenger by the IBF. And then somehow Glazkov twisted his knee early. Literally like 4 or 5 things that shouldn't have happened resulted in Joshua becoming the world champion.. it was the biggest slice of luck in heavyweight history.


    David Price when he was british/commonwealth champ had faced tougher opponents than Joshua has! - Harrison, Skelton, Sexton, Mcdermott

    He's an ATG at hiding PED use at least.

    Shame for you is that regardless of whether or not you regard him as a Champion, the IBF do, so I suppose you don't have any choice in the matter.

    After the Fury fiasco, all fighters should shyte on their belts and send back to the IBF.

    By your criteria, OP, surely Charles Martin should be the worst? At least AJ beat Martin.

    It doesn't make sense to recognize more than one fighter per division as world champion.

    Anyone can set up a boxing organization and award a belt.

    Fury signed a rematch clause when there was no need. He deserved to be stripped for being that ****ing thick.

    I see what you're saying, he did get lucky but the longer it takes for someone to come along, knock him out and take the belt the more it looks like he's a worthy champ.

    I really would like to see Joshua fight someone who can fight back...................Wilder has not fought anyone either........................it appears that Fury's head is messed up, don't think he wants to fight Klitschko again. Boxing organizations need to get their act together for the sake of boxing.................
