    I wasn't sure what the answer was when this thread was made but Joshua's dominant win over Jake Paul has convinced me.

    Since this thread was made, Joshua’s resume has somehow gotten even worse.

    To put it in perspective, Joshua’s last 6 fights: Franklin, Helenius, Wallin, Ngannou, Dubois (Loss), Jake Paul

    The only opponent remotely close to world level that AJ fought, he got completely battered by.

    Even if you don’t want to hold the Jake Paul fight against him, Hearn had wanted to put him in with Cassius Cheney instead, which speaks to how highly (or not) Hearn now regards AJ’s level. Frankly I’m not even sure Cheney is better than Jake Paul…

    Usyk definitely does… He beat the best of the era in Fury and AJ when they were clearly still very good, and DuBois a top 5-10 guy himself.

    Even if the quantity isn’t there, the quality is so much better than what anyone else brings to the table.

    Edit: I see this thread was made before Usyk beat Fury, so I guess at the time, it could be seen as close between Usyk, Fury, and AJ.

    Now its plain as day though.

    Laughable to suggest he has the best resume. It’s good for todays standards but there is at least two active hw who have faced tougher opposition.

    Being the first man to stop granite chin Jake Paul blows anything Usyk has ever done out the water.

    Anyone saying that, whilst ignoring the protected hype champion of the same era simply DKSAB.
