What Joshua has done in his era would be the rough equivalent of Lewis beating Bruno, Ruddock, Tucker and McCall while losing to Holyfield twice...
Joshua in his prime fought plenty of guys who were never important and add nothing to his legacy. Like Breazeale, Ngannou, Helenius, Franklin,...
Joyce has wins over Jennings, Dubois, and Parker. He was clearly better than Franklin and Helenius. AJ fans are trying to hype up Dubois as a...
He didn't save anything. Whyte was unranked when he faced Joshua and Ruiz wasn't regarded as anything special prior to beating AJ. Three solid...

Nothing crazy about a 220 pound guy dropping to 200 and rehydrating to 220, happens all the time. Also Sanders was carrying excess fat for some...

Heavyweights were far smaller in earlier eras which makes moving up and becoming champ far easier. Lots of these guys would probably beat a 6'0...
plenty of guys below heavyweight would be favored over Baer h2h
Beating those guys means very little though. Guys outside the top 10 like Charles Martin could potentially beat all those guys. They are...
