    It's better than Wilder's after 15 fights, much better. Hell, it's better than Wilder's resume after 30 fights!!!

    He is an Olympic Champion; he is 15-0 with 15 KOs, beating some half decent opposition in relation to the state of the division.

    So far, so good, another year of development awaits, and then we are going to see him tested. That is when questions get answered.

    All of the people you have mentioned went pro at a younger age than Joshua did.

    I find it stupid computing Tyson's early competition to Joshua's. Tyson went pro aged 18 and won a title about 2 years later, even less I think. Joshua is an ex-Olympian in his mid 20's. There can be no excuses really.

    We all know that he did not deserve to win the Olympics.

    History is generally written by the victors. Joshua WPts Savon/Cammarelle is what the record books say. It is in part payment for the £8 Billion the UK paid for the event!

    People really do need to get over it.

    i agree with your first post.

    For the first fifteen Joshua has been great value so far. The tear up with Whyte was great. The guy is two years pro people need to give him a chance.

    Also against Whyte he took bigger shots than price ever did and came through.

    That is correct, his record is good when you consider this, but the question is really is it good enough to be a top 10 ranked heavyweight? I don't think so

    This, good record for a prospect but not quite top 10 worthy.

    Don't understand the criticism of him being in the top 10 of the division? He didn't put himself there, its the boxing boards you should be complaining about, Joshua has nothing to do with this. As for criticism of his resume, its ridiculous, 15 fights 15 KO's, beaten Whyte who is a good prospect in his own right, beat Johnson too who everyone has been in with and been in with a few other tough guys. Lets not forget he wasn't amateur long either.

    It isn't but his WBC ranking is attributed to the INTL belt he holds (I think). Is that stupid and a sign of how much of a joke the organisation is? Yep. Is that Joshua's fault in particular? Nope.

    I think Boxrec has him at like 16, which doesn't seem too ridiculous

    Yes they were younger, which is irrelevant really. all of them had worse opposition in their first 20 fights compared to Joshuas first 15. Foreman had worse opposition in his first 30.

    He's doing well 15 fights in. His record is no better or worse than it should be at this stage. Let him develop and learn.
