Lennox Lewis was hated and mocked in his day. So was Wlad AJ will retire one day and suddenly everybody will be like "ATG, ATG"
Yeah remember when Wilder knocked out breazele? He was untouchable. That's boxing. What have you done for me lately?
AJ is an elire HW. Likely would have been during almost any era. His resume is fine, good, in fact. The only blemishes are that he has yet to fight one of the other top dogs, and, of course, that he was beaten by a guy like Ruiz. They are some other things to be concerned about, and, as you say all fighters have concerns, but..... his seem to be between the ears, which always seems to draw more attention. He seems to be a bit shaky with confidence and grit.
His resume is manufactured. He has good but not great wins. Whyte is garbage, the Chisora Fury beat is a better win than Whyte. Fury has Wlad and Wilder which puts him streaks ahead of Joshua. Plus losses count and Ruiz is a bad loss. Doesn't matter either way, let's see them fight.
OH come on lol that's an exaggeration. Foreman got decisioned by Morrison who gasses just as bad and probably has a worse chin than Joshua. In fact I had Alex Stewart beating foreman. If Joshua moves and uses his reach he beats foreman on points. I agree Joshua should not try to out-tough George and his footwork and conditioning would have to be on pount
AJ has the deepest resume in the division. He also KO’d Wlad (old but still showed something and was motivated) in the division’s best fight since Vitali Lewis. He’s also the most entertaining HW because of his willingness to fully commit to combinations (with good technique and fluidity), which believe it or not takes balls. I don’t really care if he ends up not being the best of his era. I don’t pick my favorite fighters based on who’s the very best but on style. Wilder a is one a punch at a time guy that relies on his power and only throws a shitty windmill combo when his opponent is hurt and there’s less risk. He’s literally getting schooled while looking for one shot. The only reason his fights can be entertaining is the threat of the right hand. The first Fury fight was bad outside of that. Him missing and Fury doing little. Fury is the guy who was deathly afraid to commit to counters and throw anything meaningful against Wlad and Wilder the first time. He ran. I still gave him full credit for those. He beat Wilder 10-2 the first time for me. Good performance. But if AJ is called a *****, where was the bravery of Fury vs Wlad? Why didn’t he try what AJ did? Fury himself thinks the fight was ****. But AJ is a coward because he took a cautious approach vs a guy who he actually did try to boss around and KO and was on his way but got caught trying to finish him. Funny that AJ in his running performance looked quite good moving around and showing another aspect to his game and landed better shots than Fury landed in both of his running performances. Come up with some better **** to diminish him cause the material that’s being used now is not very good. It’s honestly better if you say you just don’t like the guy. I got fighters that rub me the wrong way too.
I actually like AJ and the more outrageous and inflammatory things he has said. I totally approve. But he's an underwear model who thought that "Occupation: Boxer" would look better on his socials.
Lewis and Wlad are overrated now. But Joshua's got a long way to go to compare to them. He's got a way to go to even stand alongside someone like Tim Witherspoon, to be honest.
That is ridiculous, my friend. Sorry. AJ is a 2 time unified champ. I am not a fan - but credit to the guy.
The belts don't mean much. Politics dictates a lot of how many belts are at stake. Credit to AJ for who he has beat but my statement is correct. He's currently nowhere near being an "ATG".
I can see an AJ - Fury trilogy. And yes - after his career he will be called an ATG even if he comes 2nd
