    Took his belts off Charles Martin, Joseph Parker and then won a vacant one against a 41 year old Klitschko who’d been inactive for 18 months. Lost them to Mexican fatty on a months notice and won them back after Ruiz turned up in the worst shape I’ve ever seen for a world title fight.

    Hardly a list of killers to win his belts.

    At least he fought him. Twice. And did so on a voluntary.

    Imagine having the bawls to face Usyk because you want to fight him, and don't need to! He deserves a knighthood IMHO. Unlike mental elf who ran to Asia to avoid him. That has to sting. If I was a fan of such an imposter like Tyson I would feel like topping myself. I'd certainly feel stoopid.

    Considering that everyone beats Usyk I think it's poor from AJ to be outpointed twice, the *****.

    No one who took away the belt from Wladimir Klitschko would be "just a belt holder". And AJ also has wins over:
    - Povetkin
    - undefeated Dillian Whyte
    - Charles Martin (real belt holder)
    - Joseph Parker (real belt holder)

    Martin won a vacant belt because his opponent did his ACL after 5 mins.

    I know some of you weren't even onto boxing when Joshua won. But Eddie going aftet that belt was an obvious but beautiful move. Why no other heavyweight went for it i will never know.

    Did you see the Fury/Waldo fight? Worst fight that divison has seen. I'm appaled at how i still remember it despite it being the worst fight i have watched and it being 10 years ago.

    Joshua was sold by Hearn as the real deal but in reality was never near elite level of boxing in a Heavyweight Division era that had World Champions including Charles Martin, Stiverne, Joe Parker.

    I have him down as the 2nd best British Heavyweight boxer in the current era but miles behind the elite legend Lennox Lewis.
