For a guy pushing the supposed top ten rankings, it's just a carousel of bums. His best two wins are against Cornish who is a poor British level opponent and White who is basically this generations Matt Skelton. I'm baffled why he's higher rated than say, Brown who at least has a decent scalp with Rudenko (better than both Cornish and White), Towers (about the same level as Cornish) and a shot Toney (about the same level as White).
He's only a top 10 because of his name and hype. His list of wins is actually decent when compared to the likes of Wilder. Bahktov, Kinpin, Love, Gavern, Arich are all decent for an up and comer and that's exactly what he is. He isn't going to be fighting Fury, Wlad whoever next year so it doesn't really matter. He got his first real test Saturday against Whyte. He needs about 5 more similar fights against guys coming to win who can punch and ask questions before he's really pushing the top 10 otherwise its just hype. Ignore it
Joshua's record is fine for a two year pro who has had 15 fights. He isn't calling anyone out, he isn't talking about world title shots yet. He had just picked up domestic titles.
Look at the first 15 opponents of mike tyson, george foreman, wladmir klitschko etc. Joshua is progressing fine for a relative novice. You just seem annoyed he hasn't lost yet OP, you clearly want him thrown in at the deep end before he is ready.
For 15 fights his level of competition is fine. Look at Wilder's first 15 fights.....in fact look at Wilder's first THIRTY fights :rofl:rofl
Yeah... God knows why he hasn't fought Louis, Ali, Foreman, Tyson, Lewis and Holmes yet. Don't some people love to be negative....
It's for where he's at in his career... But yeah no way he should be rated in the top 10 yet. He's there on popularity alone. Joshua, Parker, H.Fury have good resumes for where they're at in their careers. Just look how pathetic Wilders resume was at 20-0 even 25-0.
You might think his resume is "shocking" but about 8 of the 10 most recent threads on this forum are about him. They're building him up nicely.
He's got hype and money behind him, hence why he is overrated, same with Wilder who will be a footnote as soon as soon as he's in a ring with Povetkin.
