    This obsession you have with femi isn't normal.

    We're living through the era with the greatest heavyweight of all time. You should feel lucky.

    Sad thing is his obsession with Joshua is actually turning people off Joshua. I'm a huge Joshua fan but I have some perspective, others who go over board only build the dislike for Joshua on this forum.

    Sad thing is that those so called boxing fans are disliking Anthony Joshua only because some people go over
    board.

    A lot of more people go over board with Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Golovkin and Lomachenko, this shouldn't
    bother you as a boxing fan.

    Yeah that's true to. Some people love to be contrarians. If it's popular then it's terrible no matter what anyone says, if it's under rated and under appreciated it's the best thing ever and they feel special as they are in a group of a select few. Small minds, small pleasures I guess.

    or in some cases it is true. jazz and classical music are technically far more difficult than rap or country. thus the musicians are far better. nowhere near as popular though.

    From the comments so far nobody knows of any unified champion with a 100% KO rate.

    Yes, he probably is, but there are also few if any unified champions who have faced such poor opposition to get there.

    He won a vacated WBA title so he didn't unify in practical terms.

    The circumstances don't matter, he is unified champion.

    AJ is a great HW, and he is the only HW strap holder with a 100% KO rate.

    However, we do not judge a fighter in terms of legacy until the end of their careers.

    To give an accurate we really need to wait until a fighter has been retired for 10 years.

    He proved to be the real deal against Wlad, no one can call him a fraud after that win and the nature of the win.

    Also ignore the journalists opinions like the plague, they always over rate fighters from the era that they first started watching boxing from.

    For a long time there was no such thing as unified champions.

    A better question would be.....

    Is James Smith the first forum poster with a 100% Anthony Joshua only post ratio?
