Did Joshua's management target older 'Name' fighters who had lost a step?

    It would be funny, if it wasn't you and your troll accounts creating 90% of AJ hate threads :p

    He could have fought Klit earlier
    That I know for sure.

    Let’s get real.

    No one cherry picks Wladimir Klitschko. No one. Even one coming off a passive loss to tricky Fury.

    Undefeated Parker is no cherry pick

    Povetkin - the consensus second best guy of his era, with only 1 loss to the imperious Wlad is no cherry pick.

    Ruiz 2 - going back in the ring with the person who had just dropped you several times and stopped you, with no warmup is no cherry pick.


    People just like to dump on Joshua, but you have to be objetctive and realistic sometimes - he fought anyone he could, when he could (I’m disappointed Wilder didn’t happen either - but Deontay himself told us why).

    He should be respected much like Parker/Kabayel/Dubois are currently. He did similar, just earlier than them.

    After a short amateur career and late start to boxing he fought Whyte in his 15th pro fight, Wlad in his 19th, J-Park in his 21st, Povetkin in his 22nd and in between Whyte and J-Park he also fought good to decent guys like Takam, Martin, Breazeale whilst they were all in their primes

    Not too shabby at all for your first 22 fights, especially for someone who took up the sport late and had a short amateur career and was learning on the job
