Only 22 fights make Joshua simply amazing.

    Knocking someone of balance is nearly KOing someone now.

    Stiverne in the first fight was listed in the top 10.

    If Joshua stays committed to the sport, I think he will reach his peak in about three years and it will last another five. A big IF, though. It's hard to consistently put in the work for so long when he already has made the money he has.

    This. He's reached the pinnacle of the sport already. If he stays motivated and keeps learning he has unlimited potential.

    I still think Wilder has the better name on his record in Ortiz. Klitschko has his soul taken by Fury and I think Ortiz is a better boxer than Sasha. Just my opinion of course.

    Yeah what an idiot. He should have fought Ali and Frazier, or Tyson & Lewis. What a bum.

    Who mentioned Tyson, Lewis, or Frazier? The only idiot is you. The point is Anthony Joshua has yet to face anything but old men and bums.

    You are calling out his resume and suggesting it’s poor and I’m saying as far as the opponents he can actually face, he has fought the best of them in 22 fights. He clearly needs to fight Wilder and Fury but if he fights those guys within his next 2/3 fights, who else exactly would you like him to fight? I’m not the idiot son.

    Prime idiocy and mindless hatred right here. No matter what AJ does you will still hate him, he has without any doubt achieved more in 22 fights than any other current boxer at heavyweight. When you take this in context with history then should he keep winning he will become an ATG. Like it or not, boxing fans and boxing historians recognize that, unfortunately people like you don't because you don't even know what a "bum" is.

    I've always maintained that he's done brilliantly to achieve what he has, both as an amateur and pro, given the late start he had in the sport and the time frame he's achieved it all in. Granted he's had his fair share of luck and good fortune along the way like winning gold in the Olympics despite clearly losing to the Cuban Savon. That was in the opening round too so he shouldn't even have come home with a medal. And he was lucky to beat Cammarelle in the final which he won on countback. To be fair, it was very close though. But he did legit win silver in the World Championships losing a razor close decision (albeit a fair one IMO) to Magomedrasul Majidov in the final which is really impressive.

    And the current HW division is a poor one as it's full of giants who took the sport late after transitioning from other sports and the skill level of them is atrocious. The reason why AJ the cream of the crop is because of his great genetics and physical advantages coupled with him possessing more skill than the rest of the late starters do. But he's carving out a very nice little resume for himself and what he's managed to achieve so far in the short amount of time he's done it is very impressive. He fought way, way better comp as an amateur than Donkey and his resume as a pro despite him having just over half the amount of fights as him poops all over his too.

    Joshua better hope Fury beats Wilder. Joshua has a glass jaw and has no stamina what so ever. Wilder would KO Joshua with in 5 rounds. Like I said before Joshua is Frank Bruno. Joshua is overrated and he will be exposed soon.

    You mean how people like you hate on Wilder no matter what he does? Prince idiocy right there. Just because I made a factual statement on your boyfriend AJ doesn't mean I am hating on anything. The heavyweight division is still the worse division in boxing . The only people who think AJ is even good are dumb Brits and other dumb Europeans. People will fully functioning brains and who brush their teeth know AJ hasn't proven anything besides he could beat bums and old men.

    I AM A WILDER FAN! And I am Australian not a pom. Nice going being wrong on yet two more counts. Look at my previous posts on Wilder going back years. You are exposed as yet another clueless hater, not a boxing fan.. a clueless biased discredit to this forum.
