    It’s not even top 10 in boxing today. He faced Wlad after he had been totally outclassed by Fury and delivered arguably his career worst performance win against Jennings, and after a year out of the ring.

    He beat Whyte when Whyte was well out of shape and being half trained by Banks.

    Parker and Povetkin are solid wins no one can deny that.

    Chuckles Martin. Enough said.

    He has three good wins. There are so many better resumes in boxing.

    Add Charles Martin on there too who’s ranked 9 with WBC.

    Wilder has Stiverne and Ortiz, Fury has Klitschko and Chisora.

    Joshua clearly has the best heavyweight resume by some distance.

    Over the hill or not both would have beat most HW's on the night they fought Joshua.

    Not in the heavyweight division though. You can question the depth in the division but that's not in Joshua's control. He's doing his part.

    Fury beat vlad that was ageing rapidly the mother of his child was having serious mental health problems and fury jumping round in a batman outfit fury won the mental war as vlad was mentally done worrying about his other half at the time
    he had a lot less on his mind when facing aj

    The Whyte win is actually looking like his best win right now. A rematch would be hell for AJ, Whyte has improved a lot since.

    Good luck trying to smother Joshua like he did Parker. I bet Whyte still has nightmares about that uppercut.
