    You have to look at how long it took them to get through those 18 fights. For example it took Joshua 36 months to get through 18 fights as a pro. So, 36 months for 18 handpicked bums. Took Wlad 16 months. Tyson almost had that many in a year. The only guy on that list he is ahead of is Wilder. Do you honestly think Wlad, Lewis, Tyson, Vitali couldn't beat Charles Martin in their 16th fight? It is a joke.

    You made a good point,mage!
    I tend to favour Povetkin-slightly- over Joshua,but like you I have to see how Povetkin looks afer his long absence from the ring.

    Yeah you're right he's a complete bum ain't he. Can't do anything. Has no skills. He might as well top himself and get it over with.

    Joshua would destroy him, povetkin barely beat a cruiserweight so how will he beat AJ.

    Depends how good Joshua is at clinching

    If he can clinch as good as wlad could he wins otherwise it's a win for Sasha

    Not sure I've ever seen Joshua clinch. There's another tick in the to-do list: clinch, jab, move, take hard shot, get up off the canvas, move head, move feet. There's a lot to do, to be honest...

    Yea imagine if he didn't have Eddie Hearn and the British boxing establishment helping him out and had to actually fight his way up like jack Johnson and Dempsey had to not to mention his chemical enhancements

    It HAS to be that! Money talks. I've seen plenty of juicers and Joshua no doubt looks the part. Like he's taking everything under the sun because he has no worries do to Uncle Eddie slipping the envelopes to the PED testers.

    I tell you what always stuck with me regarding Joshua: The 18-month break he took between the Olympics and turning pro, when he wasn't actually a boxer and not subject to any testing, amateur or pro. It's widely reported that the effects of steroids etc last years and only need topping up once the muscle mass has been enhanced. He said he was assessing his options and hadn't decided if and when he was going to turn pro. I'm not sure...

    To be fair... He's had two full training camps this year, not like he's been sitting on his ass or anything.
