Has any heavyweight besides AJ achieved so much in only 19 fights?

    lol I see that you are that guy who started the Joshua v Ali thread. No point debating this with you.

    The irony of both you and the OP's stance towards Joshua is that you hate Joshua and your irrational spite posts denouncing anything he does as crap actually makes people root for him. Whereas the OP's brand of over the top, premature hype actually makes people root against the guy.

    Most people fall somewhere in between both your views luckily. it was a great win and both men looked really good, I actually saw someone say Wlad 'exposed' Joshua...Seems you can't even have a tough fight with an ATG these days without it exposing you, even if you win...

    I remember when Ali exposed Frazier in the FOTC...

    I don't hate him at all, nonsense. What I said was 100% accurate.

    Look Joshua should get the respect he deserves. That was only his 19th fight, and he is looking unstoppable.

    If you go # of fights...
    Jeffries won the World Heavyweight title in his 11th fight (not a portion, the only title) and defended it to hall of famers Fitzsimmons and Corbett (twice) all within 20 fights.
    Neon Leon defeated Ali in his 8th fight and the undisputed championship...

    If you go timeframe...
    Again Neon Leon undisputed at 1 year and 1 month of becoming a pro, and Tyson undisputed within 2½ years. Significantly faster as Joshi.

    edit: saw @KO KIDD already mentioned Jeffries while I was typing this up.

    No. He was not battered and the stoppage was not luck.

    Maybe I'm wrong but I've only seen you say negative things about him and the fight on Saturday. No rational person would believe that could be down to anything other than the fact you straight up dislike the guy.

    But as I say maybe I'm wrong, maybe direct me to a positive post you've made about the fight?

    How could he possibly be at his best at 41?? Maybe his most exciting fight and most courageous performance but come on....

    He landed plenty of shots. No luck involved.
