Anthony Joshua's legacy as it stands in 2024

Beating Wilder now after Parker schooled him isnt going to do him much good at this point.
His only hope is Fury beats Usyk, then he gets a fight with Fury and beat him and then he gets to reign for a few more years. Then he eould have a solid resume with an off night vs Ruiz and Usyk hsving his number.
Given his age and ability I doubt it will play out like that though. Also dont see him facing the Fury vs Usyk winner. Both guys are basicaly done after that fight.
AJ is done as well but if he cares abiut legacy he just needs to keep winning, try be champ again and keep grinding wins.

 

Nothing that Joshua ever did stacks up against Wilder's win over Wladimir Klitschko.

 

Pig squealing. I hear pig squealing. Its loud.
And I know the reason.
Somebody afraid because their beloved Anthony Joshua got pretty real and big chance to become number 2 Heavyweight boxer of this era.

 

Usyk will take that place after Fury.

 

If Usyk win with Fury he got gold medal.
Fury vs Joshua will be fight for silver.

 

This obsession from this guy with Anthony Joshua is weird as hell.

 

Yep all smoke and mirrors since flattened by Ruiz
Gifted the Gold in 2012 and has been the Aside and had every little advantage his entire career

Beating Wallin more impressively than Fury and Parker beating 50 year old wilder has brought his fanboys the ultimate joy lol

I pray that usyk beats Fury as these guys will go on a complete meltdown if Fury wins lol

I'll not even mention the potential of big Frank walking him down and smashing him.

Good thread mate. I expect you will get some backlash, but you raise many factual points

 

The win over Parker is now a better win than beating Wilder so out of nowhere that old win has massively boosted Joshua's cv. Not to mention that was actually a unifaction fight too. Parker proved Wilder was never on the same level as superior fighters like Joshua and Parker.

 

At least he took the fights

He offered Deontay generational money and she famously "bet on himself"...now he's begging for the fight...

Fury fight hopefully still happens

Usyk wont and shouldnt fight AJ again.

So? He's not an ATG, big whoop. AJ and Fury and Usyk are the only HWs taking those challenging fights (could include Parker too)....everyone else (including Wilder) content on just getting paid for sparring matches

AJ has been good for the sport. I'm a fan even if he's not an ATG. He has a couple of good performances left. Hopefully he gets to glass Wilder in one of them...if not, then hopefully we get Fury. AJ can still be HOF tier if he wins some big fights at the end here

 

Usyk 3 is absolutely NOT needed. If the Wilder fight sailed then why is Wilder fighting on AJ undercard again? Fight hasnt sailed.

Fury AJ will be big so long as it happens by 2025.

And why are you comparing AJ to Chisora??
