How Anthony Joshua can become the greatest heavyweight of this era

Who cares about Olympics or cruiserweight when we are discussing professional heavyweight resume

 

I have no idea how Dubious got that shot vs Usyk. I never understood it

 

Fury was inactive and Joshua kept the heavyweight division alive. We can't ignore that.

 

If Anthony Joshua does that he's arguably greater than Wladimir Klitschko.

 

Exactly. This is how I see it.

 

When was the Tyson Fury era..

 

I'm a Fury fan but he has 6 legit fights in 10 years

 

That's insane to me. Joshua would have wins over Klitschko, Martin, Whyte, Parker 2x, Povetkin, Pulev, Takam, Fury, Wilder, Hrgovic, Kabayel and Ruiz.

That would be a top tier resume with only a hand full of people having a better resume than AJ at heavyweight.

You guys put too much stock into head to head .

Usyks heavyweight resume wouldn't be close to that.

 

Horrible logic. Even if Ali never beat Norton he would be the best Heavyweight of the 70s.

Even if Bowe beat Holyfield all 3 times Holyfield was the best Heavyweight from 1986-1996

Bernard Hopkins is the best middleweight of his era even though he's 0-2 vs Jermaine Taylor

 

You're too into undefeated and head to head

 

Ok and he avenged his loss immediately. Just like Lennox Lewis did vs Hasim Rahman

It happens. Heavyweights sometimes get upset.

 

This forum is too into Uayk hype

I get it it's his moment and he's great

Usyk has 6 heavyweight fights. If he beats Fury in the rematch it will be 7.

He would have 4 wins vs top 10 heavyweights

That's extremely thin for best heavyweight of the era standards

Joshuas body of work might just be too much at a certain point and would override the head to head deficiency

Kind of like Ali and Ken Norton (No way Ali won that 3rd fight I don't even want to hear an argument)
