    Hypothetical No. 1 - Joshua beats Povetkin, then beats Fury, then beats Wilder, the beats Usyk, etc. etc.

    People who hate on him will still hate on him and call him a bum etc. Povetkin will be labelled old, Fury would be shot, Wilder would be a bum blah blah blah.

    Hypothetical No. 2 - Regardless of the situation above, if Wilder beats Joshua he will be seen as a living legend and the GOAT by the same people who think Joshua is a manufactured bum.

    Haters will always hate, you know who you are.

    Agendas, agendas, agendas.

    I would not rate Joshua or Fury for beating Wilder. Because he wasn't any good to begin with.

    Wilder is what Foreman was in the 70s, not saying he is better than Foreman but he is rightly seen as a brutal
    force of nature, if Wilder would be as bad as you make it sound like, he would have already lost, especially in his
    last fight against Ortiz. Wilder is top 3 heavyweight and a win against him would be a great achievement.

    Joshua can't really win over many of the hardcore fans because alot of people hate apples and pears Eddie. Personally i respect all boxers cos it's such a hard sport. Even Wilder who has limited skills but is a good athlete and has heart. Exciting times at HW.

    No. He is bad. Only looks good to the untrained eye due to cheating and cherrypicking.

    from fight 1 on esb min page they have been shitting on joshua virtually every article bias against on him by scott gilfoid

    many americans on the fiorum were more neutral and waited to see how he developed

    with the rise of wilder giving america its first champ in years patriotism has kicked in and there is the normal uk v usa bickering taking place which have been the same on esb since i joined 17 years ago

    same story just differnt names
