    His resume is maybe a little better than Jarret Hurd's.

    It'd be a great scrap also. I look forward to it.

    Name the 10 other resumes then. I find it hilarious when people use phrases like outclassed when talking about Wlad and fury. 10 punches landed on average per round... Between the both of them. Counting on one hand the clean punches landed as fury awkwardly throws off balance slaps. Yeah class performance and classic fight, can't wait to watch it again.

    His resume is top notch no doubt about it.

    This.

    The fight was a joke. Wouldn't call it a fight.

    Spence and Rigondeaux lol

    Spence has one big win in Brook and a solid notch in Peterson then after that he has some fringe contenders in Bundu, Algieri, Van Heerden.

    Rigo has Donaire about six years back, Agbeko then his next best win is Amagassa.

    Really reaching with those picks currently.

    1. Spence wiped the floor with the number one guy and champ of his division. Joshua did not.
    2. Rigondeaux thoroughly outboxed a pfp talent (top 5 back then, and he might be number 1 in today's landscape). Joshua hasn't even fought anyone close to a pfp list.

    Joshua's resume sits below Eleider Alvarez and just above Jarret Hurd.

    His resume is looking very solid no doubt, he's fought 4 of the top 10 according to Boxrec rankings and 5 of the top 15.

    Solid for heavyweight, but not elite if the Wilder-Fury winner isn't logged as a win. Beating Usyk would also help.

    Best at Heavyweight but definitely not one of the best in boxing all together

    I said name 10 guys with better resumes, not just name 10 boxers you've heard of. On that list there's Pacquiao who's easily got the best resume of any active fighter.

    When's he fighting for the lineal title?

    Like all the great heavyweights before him did.

    His resume is meaningless without it.

    He's a glorified Bermane Stiverne.

    1. If losing the first half of the fight is wiping the floor then we have different meanings, Brook wasn't the number one guy either and was coming off the back of a stoppage loss where his eye was shattered.
    2. Joshua has beaten three top five ranked guys and a guy who would become ranked top five, Spence hasn't beaten three guys in the top twenty.
    3. Rigid win over Rigondeaux was years ago and again his resume is thin as hell after tha. Without that one fight his resume is terrible for a top level fighter.

    Alvarez has one good win against Kovalev. After that he has Pascal and Bute who have suffered several brutal losses preceding the fight. Hurd has a decent resume but again it's not as good as Joshua's, he has Lara and Trout and that's it.

    Let's not let hatred cloud your judgement. Everyone can see all this clear as day.
