    Because I was told Joshua was an ATG in the making but I can't remember any others who did that?

    Jack Dempsey. See his fights vs Meehan, though he wasn't quite as fat.

    Tony Galento had Joe Louis down.

    Does Maidana beating Broner count? I mean Broner was supposed to be the next Mayweather and Chino is short and a bit rotund now.

    He didn’t lose the fight from when he was 28 to 39. Joshua is 29 now

    Fat?? I think you need to change the title to "Obese". And the answer is none.

    Does Evander Holyfield against James Toney count or was Holyfield past prime?

    Sonny Liston had his jaw broken and dropped an eight round split decision to awkward 185lber Marty Marshall. Not quite a 'short fatty' but a fat light-heavyweight who gave Liston fits. In the rematch (taken by Marshall on three day's notice) he actually knocked Liston down and decided to go for the kill and was promptly stopped in the following round.

    Sh*t happens sometimes. A boxer's physique tells you almost nothing about their skills or experience. Not a huge fan of Max Kellerman but he made an excellent point about many historical examples of when an experienced fighter is hurt, their muscle memory takes over and is big trouble for the opponent if they do not have the same extensive amateur/pro background.
