    Your opinion is made pretty worthless to be honest with you with your next assertion.. "Imagine what a prime Wlad would've done to Joshua..." .. please..

    Let me reverse that imagine was a 19 fight Wladimir would do vs the 19 fight AJ that he fought. Bare in mind, Wladimir didn't challenge for a main title until his 36th fight. Howabout we speculate on what the 40 fight prime AJ might be like, and then match that worthless speculation against a prime Wladimir.

    Imagine what a 19 fight Wladimir would have done against a prime Ali or a prime Foreman, Lewis, Tyson.. need I go on.

    Reading this forum at times literally makes me despair at so called boxing fans.

    What are you slavering at son? He was rolling about the ring, spat out his shield and was holding on for life vs a 41 year old man. Hung on by a thread and only won because Vitali advised brother to ease up after round 7. Stupid fan boys like you need to keep paying him the cash though, easier milked than a lame goat.

    Has unified, bar one belt, in 21 fights. Only has Wilder and a myth known as Tyson Fury left to face. Has been in with big hitters and better boxers, faster hands and better movers than he is. He hasn't been protected. So why would he start now.

    It's obvious he has flaws and other fighters from different eras would probably beat him h2h. You might not like him as a person but currently he is top of the division. When the new crop of HWs move up that might change.

    No, Joshua will lose to Ortiz who will outbox him. Joshua will lose to Miller who will kill him to the body and is the most relaxed man in boxing so won't get phased by Joshua's predictable punches.

    Wilder knocks him out in devastating fashion.

    Fury toys with Joshua in boxing.

    Joshua is a big stiff guy that doesn't know how to clinch like Klitschko. It's just a matter of time.

    Klitschko was outboxing him before he lost. Joshua is all hype. They need to protect him now.

    Joshua is all hype? They must have just given the belts to him then. Pointless discussing boxing with you.

    Being able to successfully execute different gameplans against undefeated Champions in their prime can be argued is 'special' quality . Parker who is usually an aggressive attacker on the front foot was totally disarmed and kept at range. It was a Mayweather- esque performance in terms of bringing home the the win by boxing smart and without taking any risks. It was a tactical fight that shows Joshua can be a boxer and a brawler.

    Not all past legends brought the 'x factor' into the ring. Lewis played the same rage game behind the jab against Tua and his two fights with Holyfield were uneventful boxing matches as well.

    Put Joshua in against Povetkin or Whyte again and you'll see how dangerous and good he is when those guys come forward and attack him.
    That's not to say Parker did anything wrong , he employed the right stick n move strategy which will beat AJ one day , he just got edged out by the better , bigger , stronger Joshua who clearly was prepared for whatever Parker brought to the table.
    Joshua boxed a safe , smart fight and cruised to a points win without ever being in a spot of bother. His stock is sound.

    LOL He's only faced 2 threats so far.

    1. Was a ATG heavyweight who was 41yo and coming off the longest layoff in his career.....and he went life and death.

    2. Was Parker who imo is solid but nothing special.

    The rest are C level fighters at best.

    There is Wilder, Povetkin and Ortiz out there who really are dangerous.

    He beat who was in his path to get the belts. Should he have dragged Lewis out of retirement and other great boxers of the past. He can only beat who is relevant. He has unified apart from one belt. Should he have fought Wilder on the same night as Parker.

    You want to talk about about LOL and then state he needs to fight Ortiz and Povetkin, are they better than Parker? Did Wlad win that fight or did he get knocked from pillar to post. Your post is ridiculous and laughable.

    I posted facts, he has unified. If you can't handle it that's on you
