    He got off the floor against Sharkey and saw the fight out where I don’t think AJ would have survived. And he traded with guys like Uzcudun, King Levinskey, Schaff, Neusel, Campolo, stribling,Godfrey And Larry Gains without going over. And those guys could bang.

    Max Baer And Joe Louis were better punchers than Andy Ruiz

    Sharkey is a bad example, pretty powderpuff punchers. I don't think Joshua would be getting up too many times vs Baer tho I agree

    Joshua destroys all of them. Do you really think that Carnera would go to war with an old, but the gamest version of Wlad since like 2012? I don't.
    Tbh I wouldn't make Carnera any sort of favourite over Ruiz.

    Because some don't get punching is more speed, angles, timing, and technique once fighters get beyond 200lbs, than height and weight and pretty muscles.Some on these sites don't get that part.

    Standing by my original take. An apt comparison, if you put aside the fact that Anthony Joshua is better than Primo Carnera in many of the most important ways one fighter can be better than another.

    It's possible. I need to see AJ's chin tested more. Carnera's wasn't nearly as bad as some people make it out to be.

    Unless Ruiz transforms and becomes a better fighter in the future.. from what he has shown till now probably does not eclipse Paulino Uzcudun. Who was a pretty good fighter.

    Either of Uzcuduns wins over Harry Wills or Max Baer was of a similar magnitude to Ruiz defeating Joshua.

    Joshua has a few belts and a few top wins but he is only really “one of” the best in the world rather than being regarded as the best in the world. Nobody is. The best in the world right now is between Fury, Wilder or Joshua. If somebody new beats one of those three he becomes “one of the three best”. But we won’t ever know until one beats the other and the third beats the winner.

    So all these comparisons with actual champions regarded the best in the world are really out of place. The status is not equal.

    And Joshua becoming only the forth man in history to reclaim the championship in an immediate rematch is utter nonsense.

    Because He didn’t beat Wilder or Fury before he lost to Ruiz his status never amounted to being the best in the world.

    Patterson, Lewis And Ali were regarded the worlds best before they lost then recaptured their titles.
