Is Joshua the worst multi fight reign champion in history

Is Joshua's reign the worst? (LOL)

No. Not by a mile.

Joshua's reign of six straight successful title defenses could likely get him in the Boxing Hall of Fame right now.

The only heavyweight champions who have made more successful title defenses in one reign than Joshua's six I believe were/are:

* Joe Louis
* Larry Holmes
* Wlad Klitschko
* Tommy Burns
* Muhammad Ali
* Deontay Wilder
* Mike Tyson
* Vitali Klitschko
* Joe Frazier
* Jack Johnson
* Jim Jeffries
* Lennox Lewis
* Ezzard Charles

Every other heavyweight champion never made six straight successful defenses.

Joshua put together an excellent run.

Three consecutive successful defenses of a heavyweight belt is probably the average ALL-time. (That's just a guess, it might be lower.)

There are modern heavyweight champions in the boxing Hall of Fame with far fewer consecutive successful defenses. (Bowe made two, for example.)

 

Unless you're someone like me who stated from the very beginning that AJ was the most overrated boxer in the game right now

 

It's not about being overrated. It's did he have the worst reign of any champ who made more than one successful defense.

A lot of guys had worse reigns.

For example, Max Schmeling won his title on a low blow and made one successful defense against Young Stribling. Joshua's reign was better than that.

 

You actually listed a guy with a worse reign who was active at the same time as Joshua. Parker defended against Razvan and Shades of Ali.

 

Who the **** has Wilder BEAT that puts his reign over Joshua

 

And still a better resume then wilder !!!

 

It cracks me up when internet tough guys call boxers of MMA fighters names online to be edgy. You wouldn't say anything to Wilder's face. I can't stand the guy and clearly he is overrated the Beyonce Wilder or Donkey crap is getting kind of played out.

 

The same people who said no 6'0 tall guy could beat Joshua or the heavyweights now days are so skilled are jumping ships and acting like they never said this. The current heavyweight division is horrible. Ever since Lennox Lewis retired the heavyweight division has been a joke. Joshua was never good. Wilder isn't any good. Tyson Fury is a bigger joke. These younger guys are still horrible.

 

And get off my lawn.

 

WTF? Are you trying to say with your list that Wilder is currently the 6th greatest heavyweight ever? I thought you were suppose to be defending Joshua’s rep here not boosting Wilders achievements?

 

i would say it to his face

 

How can you like a post ... and then a moment later ask WTF about the very same post ... and then ask me if I'm saying something that I never said in the post?

You need to lay down. (LOL)

 

Lol. Yeah I like the post at first but then after I gave you the like I saw you had Wilders name halfway up on your most successful heavyweights list which to me made it look like you were giving your appreciation of his credentials.

You can keep the like though because that was based on my first impression of the post

 

Wilder is well on his way to ATG status

Wilder is pound for pound

Joshua is pound for clown

 

You wouldn't say ****.
