Is Anthony Joshua the best HW in the world just now ?

Who's the guy in your avatar?

 

people should TOTALLY disregard Haye as a top 10 fighter. Who has he beaten in the last 3 yrs ? in fact before then at heavyweight who has he beaten ? Chisora? old Ruiz ? Lost to Wlad ? I'm actually a Haye fan but even he is now testing my patience - he is clearly on a con mission. Trying to talk his way into a shot at a belt based off his distant past achievements...which at heavyweight still wasn't great.

AJ is top 5 at the moment for sure. Could be the no.1...but its all down to personal bias, he's stil got it all to prove. Fury is just a flash in the pan. Wlad will put him back where he belongs Oct 29.

 

he needs to improve his defense

 

Who knows, he might be.
But with the level of opposition he has faced up till now it's impossible to say where he stands. He might very well turn out to be a frontrunner who crumbles when facing real top opposition.

 

No that honor is reserved for Tyson Fury.

 

Maybe a year from now. Right now, it's Fury the best one, without doubts

 

Tyson Fury is the lineal champion. Until someone beats him he is the best, pretty simple.

 

Lets analyse this for sec....

Fury is technically the man, he beat the man, and he done it well.

Now the question is Joshua up there. Of course, he has beaten two unbeaten fighters. I dont care what your opinions are, I only care about facts. All Wilder and Joshua opponents become gate keepers once they lose to them automatically, (unless they string up a series of great successive wins)

Look at how well Molina and Dauphaus beat rated fighters.
Now ask yourself this, can Molina or Dauphaus beat Dillian white, and the Olympian Brezealle?

I dont think so.

My list is as follows, top 5,

1)Fury
2)Wilder
3)Joshua
4)Ortiz
5)Haye/Povetkin

Parker has shown he is a level below Povetkin in an average performance against Takam,

I reckon the 5 men I listed above (outside Povetkin) would beat Takam silly, he would not see the final bell against any of the top 5.

 

Fury is under rated, he is the modern day Ali in the way he promotes fights. and his boxing skill have improved by leaps and bounds. Joshua style will give him fits, Joshua has a couple more gears in terms of skills and upping the speed of work.

I believe that Wilder would be a more dangerous fight for Joshua due to that power, cause if Wilder hits Joshua it lights out, I feel Fury would outbox Wilder simply.

Joshua could out box Wilder, but that power is very dangerous, and Joshua is not as elusive as Fury, who has now learnt how to Dance.
