    The problem with most of AJ's best wins are that they are all fighters who were basically done (while he was in his prime).

    Wlad retired straight away because he had nothing left and he never came back. It really was just a final fight for him. Fury fought an old Wlad too but he was two years younger and undefeated for a long time. The fact Wlad wouldn't rematch for huge money showed how done he was.

    Povetkin was on his last legs quite obviously. Yes he KO'd Whyte afterwards but was almost KO'd in that fight and looked terrible.

    Pulev was not only 40 but actually had Covid and couldn't pull out because he'd already pulled out before with an injury.

    Outside of that you have Parker who shouldn't have been a world champion, he beat Ruiz who'd beaten nobody, for a vacant belt.

    That's it. There's nothing there for a 35 year-old fighter who is supposed to be amazing. He could have fought Wilder and Fury twice each but didn't want to. He could have fought Joyce/Zhang in recent times but rejected those fights despite the fact they were old.

    He was MASSIVELY protected but also chose to play it safe.

    No it doesn't count, and don't get me wrong the Waldo win is better, but that also doesn't count as an ATG win. We just don't know where he was still at at that point.

    I voted AJ, but his resume is still crap. Including losses Khan has fought the better opponents, he just got crushed by the best ones.

    Khan's career is under appreciated not just fights wise but the buzz and hype he created after Olympics was massive for boxing in UK especially as it was a time when we didn't have many world level fighters

    Khan not only fought and won in America he also won a World Title over there iirc,this achievement alone is bigger than anything Joshua did.

    Audley would be champ material now
    He is a legit gold medal winner
    The bodybuilder was gifted a gold and robbed others of Olympic glory because it was in London

    It's a disgrace that chump calls himself a gold medallist

    Well at least we seen the sad sack of s..t get his head smashed again last week

    What happened to big Bad AJ 2.0?? Lol

    Joshua isn't a gold medallist, not legit, that is definitely a fact

    I will say aj vs Audley would be a short fight either way. Joshua has more form, but If Audley got his mind like he did in the Williams rematch? He could smash him

    Did you see how easy the fraud was smashed last week? That's what happens when you don't handpick old men and bums

    We have now seen Aj splatterd twice, the big glass jawed, front running rat

    :lol: Audley was 35 when he rematched Williams. He would have been another "old man and a bum".
    Audley never beat a single world ranked heavyweight as a pro. That is a fact.
    And you comparing Joshuas achievements to him shows your stupidity and bias.

    Come on mate.....I know you dislike Joshua but this is ridiculous.

    Harrison was out pointed by Martin Rogan, Dominic Guinn, sparked by Michael Sprott, and never beat a single top 10 ranked Heavyweight.

    His best wins are Danny Williams who was past his best and coming off a loss, and Michael Sprott who was 35 years old and was ahead on points until he get caught in the last round.

    Harrison never had the style to be a successful professional and never came close to reaching world level. He couldn't even get out of British level let alone reach world level.

    You can dislike a fighter I don't particularly like Joshua either but let's have some common sense here. Joshua has been a top 10 ranked Heavyweight for almost a decade and has 5 wins over top 10 ranked opponents. Harrison was never rated in the top 10 in his entire career and the Heavyweight era Harrison was in was far weaker than this era now.
