    Two consecutive losses to Usyk, then he gets knocked out by Tyson Fury in London, gets upset by a Joe Joyce or some other top 15 opponent and later on gets knocked out by Wilder somewhere in the middle east? How will his career be viewed if this happens? Will he be respected for taking on all the top competition of his era or ridiculed and dismissed as an overrated bum of his time who couldn't cut it when he started facing tougher competition?

    It's kind like saying how would you view Canelo's career if he gets Koed by GGG, gets upset by Ryder then gets knocked out by David Lemieux in Saudi Arabia.

    The chances of it happening are extremely miniscule.

    he's not a 12 round fighter
    & he can't throw combinations like Rocky Marciano

    If he fights JJ, Fury, Hughie and Wilder that's another 4 losses on his career.

    He goes 50/50 against Whyte, Ruiz and Parker.

    The chances of Canelo losing all those fights is extremely minuscule, yes.

    But the chances of Joshua losing to Fury, Wilder and Joyce is far from minuscule.

    Funnily enough Fury and Wilder have ducked mutiple offers and even Hughie turned down an offer to fight AJ.

    I’d like to think he’d be respected. I don’t particularly like him as a person, but he’s fun to watch and fighting all that you’ve listed would be fighting the best of this current era.

    The career of Bruno.

    He lost with "Mike Tyson" Ruiz (the Destroyer) and "Lennox Lewis" Usyk (both Pugilistic specialists).

    The bodybuilder is deluded about his boxing abilities. He's been knocked out and schooled twice and the chances of that not happening again vs Fury are slim to none. Joshua was just lucky he came along at the end of the Klit era when Fury was off the rails otherwise he'd be back on his manor dealing candy.

    I'd see it as a successful career based on his limited boxing ability the fact that he was at one point was unified Hw and he made **** tons of money didn't end the best but **** it

    I don't see this happening, but I would think it is just an example of a good fighter losing his confidence and second guessing everything he does until he can't fight anymore. It would not be the first time it happens, and would not be the last. Happens all of the time.

    But again, I think he will be savvy enough to take a few rebuilders, and he will be fine.

    That's asuming it all happens like you say.....

    I'll give him max props for over achieving and maximising the opportunities he had.

    I personally think he will win a belt again.
