You just seen the difference between a "top 10" (fake) like Pulev, who is a complete pudding, and a genuine top contender who actually brings something to the table. Then there's the likes of Martin, Takam, Breazeale, Molina who are all absolutely crap. Paint Dry Parker is as mediocre as it gets, and old Povetkin who never held a belt in the first place is not truly top level. The wins that matter are the top wins, and Joshua's best win is an old, inactive Klitschko who was coming off a comprehensive loss to Fury, in a life and death contest. Records must be viewed on balance and now Joshua has a disastrous KO loss to a fat midget, and now a comprehensive outboxing to an excellent boxer who is new to HW. The guy clearly does not have the best record in the division. That was laughable before and it will be even funnier now to hear the likes of @RB1702 and all of the fanboys spew it. Overrated.
I thought Usyk would win 7-5 or 8-4 and get robbed but even Howard Foster couldn't find a way to give AJ a draw. I had it 11-1 and I need to take a close look at the 1 round I gave to AJ because it was a close round (I muted the commentary so I was spared the BS). AJ's always been a product of spin. He's a good fighter who was hyped as a great fighter, when it was clear to the more perceptive among us after the Wlad fight that he wasn't what they made him out to be. The Ruiz fight should have extinguished all doubts but still complete fools who have a very limited understanding of boxing were picking him over Fury. Chisora gave Usyk a closer and much harder fight than AJ did because he was able to apply pressure and his size advantage without caring what came back at him, AJ couldn't (he didn't have the gas tank, chin or courage for it) so he got schooled, exposed and battered. Even Michael Hunter gave a better account of himself. Unfortunately snake Hearn has a rematch clause which he will surely force AJ to take. He doesn't want to lose the belts, maybe they can find a way to fix the rematch or AJ could jump on Usyk from the start and try to take him out. I highly doubt it though; two devastating defeats in his last 4 fights to small, non-punching men he deemed himself racially superior to isn't going to be good for his confidence. He was battered, it will take him a while to recover physically and it's a lot of wear and tear, while Usyk took relatively little punishment. There's a good chance AJ gasses earlier and harder in the rematch and gets taken out. Provided Fury beats Wilder again, we will have to wait at least a year for undisputed.
