    Including Andy Ruiz Jr, Joshua's opponents records averaged from his 23 fights will average a record of 25 wins and 6 losses (80.65%). Wilder's opponents across his 42 fights have averaged 17 wins and 8 losses (68%).

    A completely irrelevant statistic.

    It’s pretty relevant. Law of averages.

    You can beat 100 guys who’s 10-10 and be 100-0 but it’s far more impressive beating 100 guys who’s record themselves are 100-0.

    On average Joshua fights better opponents and he has.

    What about Klitschkos, LL and Holyfield?
    Do we have these stats?

    Very irrelevant indeed. Wilder has fought twice as many as Joshua. So this stat doesn't prove anything.

    This. The only thing that will matter is who wins when they both eventually fight each other.

    I reckon Joshua has faced better opposition than Windmill generally but stats don't do much for me.

    You could say Hughie Fury just beat a 17-0 guy in Chris "big and bouncy" Norrad , one of the worst HWs i've ever seen.

    Matchroom shill exposed. So undefeated Gary Corndog & many others inflate the numbers.

    yeah but Klitchko being in Joshua's resume helped that win average go up a couple of points wouldn't it?

    Yeah man, who cares how he got here, but surly everyone accepts that he is one of the top heavyweights now? Does him fighting heaps of bums on the way up matter now?
