    Joshua is a boxer who threw killer combinations to become a Boxer who is afraid to throw a punch...

    The only reason Joshua looks like such a good combination puncher is because most HWs only throw one shot at a time, so Joshua looks better by comparison.

    In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

    Firstable neither Lewis(top 3 H2H in my list and top 5 ATG), neither Morrison is better than AJ in combos, neither is Lewis.
    And the question was since Tyson.
    And if there was actually many more, you would have listed them.... But there is none actually.

    Good thing someone remembered to mention Lennox Lewis.

    IMHO he never recovered from the Andy Ruiz 1 fight.

    Herbie Hide was a better combination fighter than Joshua.

    Well it could be, and has been worse. At least the threads about him beating Ali, Frazier and Louis have dried up.

    He looks good throwing against bin men and old men

    Aj is an overrated, manufactured scrub that is going to get embarrassed again very soon

    Can't wait until Usyk humiliates him again. Eddie's greatest achievement is steering this man's career and making casuals who know f..k all about boxing thinking he is some ATG lol

    None questions Bodybuilder is a good combos puncher but from here to say he's the best since Tyson is almost a heresy.

    The most commendable thing about Joshua is the promotion and Matchroom media hype that surrounded him from his very first fight. Joshua was hyped right up from the off to levels even he knew he was never going to achieve.
    Did Joshua do well ? Yes he most certainly did.
    Has Joshua now found his level ? Yes he most certainly has.
    Will Joshua ever hold a World title again ? Only if he defeats Usyk in the rematch.

    He has great stoppage power in combinations, he's up there, but Usyk even vs Joshua was throwing crazy combos, like 7-8 punches at a time. He's easily top 3 for combos since Tyson, at HW.
