    Plant's best win is Uzecat FFS

    BJS 2.0 is a shot Martin Murray at 168

    Yildirim is a binman

    AJ has wins over Wlad, Povetkin, Parker, Whyte, Fat Andy, Pulev, and Takam :facepalm:

    Usyk an incredible win in foreign territory, Donaire had a good year as well,

    but I think its Canelo. In 2021 he won 3 fights, 2 against top ten contenders and title holders, and 4 fights in 11 months (him beating Smith December 2020, another top ten contender).

    One fight a year is not enough, sorry. Next time, do more.

    Canelo.

    not to that extent. Ussyk victory is awesome, but AJ is no atg. Had he had another good victory this year, then ok. But one fight a year is not enough.

    who cares AJ isn't an ATG. Are you holding that against canelo's three opponents?

    Canelo. Usyk had a great win, but Joshua wasn't undefeated or the No. 1 guy in the division. That's not enough to eclipse Canelo clearing out all competition in his natural size range (note: 175 is not his natural range).

    Canelo by astronomical margin.

    He became the first undisputed super midddleweight in boxing history.

    He ate tricky southpaw and defensive philly shell user who are high skilled fighters like a chips.

    I'm sorry but Caleb Plant is not a highly skilled fighter and the fights were rather competitive.

    • No questionable victories
    • Honest in defeat
    • Avenged his only defeat and won by a landslide (now hopes to avenge his second loss)
    • No failed drug tests
    • Has a pretty stacked resume by modern HW standards
    I'm not a Joshua fan, but I can see why he's respected by boxing fans.

    I say if you didn't fight at least twice you don't qualify.

    This wasn't 2020, gyms and arenas were open all year.
