    Joshua has by far the best résumé in the division, boxing on huge shows on Sky and beating top 10 fighters with real pedigree from Whyte until now. Only two losses due to concussion and trainer problems and hasn’t looked close to being truly knocked out.

    I’d put Lewis above him at this point but his career is over. Joshua has a lot of time left and a win against Usyk will only strengthen his résumé. It would be the best win by any heavyweight in the division after having beaten a top Klitschko in an epic.

    What does Joshua have to do to eclipse Lewis, or has he already? For me he needs Usyk and another two top wins against Fury, Wilder, Ruiz, Whyte, Anderson, Miller, Yoka, Hrgovic, Hunter or someone like that.

    He needs to get sparked out one-punch style before we can truly compare him to Lewis.

    Let's stop using the word resume, and start using the abbreviation CV.

    You're not seriosly asking if he's surpassed Lewis?

    I'd put Joshua more around Bruno's level.

    Yeah Joshua has never looked close to being knocked out.

    Well apart from against Ruiz, Klit, Whyte and Usyk.

    Incredible the negativity here. You’d think the British public would get behind a role model with a résumé chock-a-block with top 10 wins.

    Got to agree with OP that Joshua is the greatest ever, has the best resume by a mile and I simply cannot see how anybody could possibly beat him on points never mind stop him.

    Mo Farah Stamina, Vitali Klitschko Chin, Eubank Warrior Spirit, the heart of a lion - simply unstoppable in any era.

    Not gonna happen mate, Joshua’s resume is decent but even if he was at Lewis’ level in ability he wouldn’t be able to muster a resume as good as his.

    AJ had the best resume out of the urremt HWs untill Usyk beat him.

    In comparison with Lewis, Lewis resume is superiror, in fact only Ali's resume is comparable to Lewis in my opinion.

    If by “resume” you mean “résumé” (resume means something entirely different), I disagree. Joshua has a plethora of top 10 wins, the most important criterion for judging a résumé. How can Usyk earn the distinction of best active résumé on only one top 10 win? His cruiserweight résumé surely can’t filter into heavyweight when specifically evaluating the best active heavyweight résumé.
