    Yet Takam, Parker, Franklin, Baby Butterbean and Usyk twice walked through Joshua's alleged power that had Hector Avilla and other no hopers falling to the canvas.

    Cannot believe there are still people on here who believe Joshua was a great and still belongs to world level.

    It is simply astonishing.

    Great and world level in this era apparently means you can get battered by a 37 year old debutante tbf.

    In other eras it meant getting battered by this guy:

    "I told Ngannou after the spar: 'You can come to boxing no problem, this is easy for you'. Ngannou is one of the strongest men you will ever see in any combat sport." - Joe Joyce, 2020

    "Francis can bang, he is very strong, I mean, who knows, he could knock Dillian Whyte out man." - Joe Joyce, 2021

    If Joshua goes in with the 272 lbs MMA hulk and blows him out then we'll be proven wrong. If Joshua loses or ducks then we'll be proven right.

    I can’t stand AJ, people are overestimating Ngannou simply for going the distance with Fury. Fury was absolutely awful.
    Ngannou, stood upright zero head movement and barely threw a punch. Any decent heavyweight out there should be doing all they can to make a fight with him, gets one over on fury if nothing else.

    The “big communist war lord”. Outstanding.

    When the dust settles he could possibly be the ruler of them all.

    Joshua gets his critics but fairplay to him for refusing to fight Ngannou when he had 0 professional fights. It tells me that he is still motivated to achieve a lot more in the sport. Hearn would have continued talking to Ngannou about fighting Joshua if Joshua gave him the green light. Remember that this was before Ngannou and Fury agreed to fight.
