It's just boring. I appreciate that not everyone is going to have the same views, but just repeating the same mantras about 'resume strength' is dull. It doesn't consider the eye test nearly enough. Everyone knows that a canny promoter can stage manage someone's resume to an extent.. Picking opponents coming back from injury or a long lay off Picking opponents who are on the decline Picking opponents who are paper champions Whilst Joshua's resume is strong, many of his opponents meet one or more of those above criteria. Same applies to Whyte too to an extent. I also think RE: Joshua, the only time his promotion have taken a genuine risk with him in a matchup was Klitschko. At that point in his career Joshua would've been fine to take a loss. Even then he had every possible advantage as the home fighter. It was a great win and an entertaining fight, but was a calculated gamble imo.
