    I know ranking ones own personal list is subjective and for different reasons but what about H2H matches? I already have Joshua in my top 5 ,but not including current fighters like him and Wlad who do you think are the hardest Heavy weights to defeat at their best throwing out personal favorites or any bias if you had to pick a real life fight and match them in a real setting?

    That is a grossly unwarranted ranking at this stage of his career.

    Who has he beaten exactly?

    I'm not ranking him ,I beleive any 6'6 giant at 240 plus ..speed and power could win against anyone.The fact hes a great talent already justifies it.

    No it really doesn’t.

    He could even yet be a spectacular flop.

    Fighters that appear to have everything, come along all the time, and most of what glitters is not gold.

    Joshua isn't a top 5 ATG.

    Maybe he will go on to be such, but not right now.

    that's not even related to the thread. He can wipe out the division ,it wouldn't change narrow mindedness.

    Of course it would change everything if he wiped out the division.

    Same way if he gets wiped out it would change everything.

    It's the secone sentence in the thread. If it isn't to do with the thread why is it mentioned in the thread?

    For the record I have followed Joshua from his pro debut, and liked what I was seeing very early on.

    Be that as it may, not fighter should ever be ranked highly just for looking good on film, or being good on paper.

    It has to be proven in the ring, and we are not there yet.

    Totally agree.

    He might knock out every one in the top ten, or he might lose to Molina. certainly can't call him top 5 yet

    Wiping out the division has nothing to do if he can beat other past time champions,obviously he would.

    No offence, but this is one of the worst lists I have ever seen.

    You can't simply overlook somebody’s record, when assessing how hard they are to defeat.

    If you can beat the great champions of other eras, you should have no problem beating the contemporary contenders, and no reason not to try.

    Of course it does.

    If he lost his next 30 matches you would change your mind.
