Joshua is called world heavyweight champion of the world. But really what did he do to earn it? He beat Charles Martin, the worst hw title holder of all time, who only got the belt because Fury was stripped. The public don't seem to understand it. Joshua is paper champ and hypejob until proven otherwise.
History books at the moment will see Fury as the legitimate champion at the moment, but when it's all said and done, I believe Joshua will go very far. He has the potential to become a dominant champion.
Isn't he going to prove it either way in 2 days time. Weird time to make a thread on it to be honest.
Would like to know how the IBF decided on Martin vs Glazkov. Glazkov was the mandatory, okay, but WTF was Martin doing there? He had not beaten one top 50 guy and still hasn't. Glazkov has to be the unluckiest guy in recent hw boxing history and Martin the luckiest.
He beat the man who was world champion of the world. Thats how its done. Also if Wlad knocks him out or beats him on points he will STILL sell out venues in the UK. And people will say Wlad will expose him, expose him to who exactly? Just cuz Wlad can do it doesnt mean everybody else will just be able to follow his lead and do the same thing. Fights 2 days away Baconmaker, surely its time to relax a bit on these threads and enjoy the fight? If your right in what you have been saying then your guna be very busy on the post fight threads anyway.
wooooooo the best champion ever - Charles Martin !!! I doubt it he was going to win vs Glazkov, but that injury could be considered as the lucky ticket for Martin. Now he can afford all the drugs that he can absorb. ****ing drugprince Martin... Anyways Joshua won the easiest title ever - fact. And this could be considered as a disadvantage because: 1. He has to act now like a champ without being ever the underdog which could be bad for him. 2. He made some kind of defences - OK, I am fine with that. Hearn had to build the hype around Joshua - the mega KO machine and etc. The title helped him to do it. BUT I think if Joshua had to win one of the titles facing Fury, Wilder or Klitschko , without ever being a title holder he was going to be a huge underdog against them. If Joshua had to face for example Fury and beat him... then ok I would consider him as a very very very good boxer and I would give him the advantage in his fight against Klitschko. But now... so far I can see all the bookies are giving a huge chance for Joshua to win. It's around 4/11 for Joshua and 9/4 for Klitschko... The thing is this is a 50/50 fight and no one knows what will happen. I am glad that this fight is on! It won't hurt Joshua if he loses... Basicly he will loose against someone that dominated the division for years. There is no shame about it! But if he wins, there is no doubt that the new era will start. It will be the youth, the dream and the desire vs the oldschool, the experience and the obsession about winning the titles back.
how could you possibly doubt martin? didn't you see his exhilarating comeback last weekend? the guy is unstoppable.
Just because Aj wrecked him (prince) doesn't tell us much. Look who wlad lost to early in his career. How's it possible he could ever win a legitimate title ? As we now consider him a top 5 ATG HW. What happens if Aj takes him out in 3 ? Is wlad "exposed" again and relegated to a "hype job" ?
martin could still be successful. in another thread i said he still ranks equal with anyone on fury's resume or higher, except for wlad.
It wasn't Charles Martin's fault Glaskov got injured, he won a title that AJ was a mandatory to, so he's a legitimate world titilist and Saturday night hell be a unified champion! Deal with that son!
Joshua is a 18-0 prospect. His best opponent was Dillian Whyte, a British-title-level opponent who wasn't even 100% fit. Martin, Breazeale and Molina are journeyman-level.
Both Whyte and Breazeale is where I started to believe in Joshua as a genuine heavyweight champion. Still, we'll find out where he's really at this weekend when he takes on Wlad.
Joshua has fought nobody to help his skill level..................nothing but bums.................18 fights, 18 knockouts, but Vlad would have easily knocked all of Joshua's opponents without any problem and all of Wilder's opponents, all of Parker's opponents........................
