What does Anthony Joshua need to do to be named greatest heavyweight of all time?

Beat George Foreman and Sonny Liston despite their aura of invincibility, bounce back from defeat to beat Joe Frazier in a trilogy for the ages, do the same with stylistic nightmare Ken Norton, and sprinkle a few wins over the likes of Henry Cooper, Earnie Shavers and Floyd Patterson on top.

If he did ALL that then I'd consider him GOAT.

Joshua can never be GOAT, he can be an ATG if he becomes undisputed and racks up ~10 strong defenses though. If he gets somewhere close to the Wlad, Larry or Louis # of consecutive defenses (16+ minimum) by beating the new generation (Hrgovic, Dychko, Teslenko, Yoka etc) then maaaaybe you could make a case for top 5-10. But never #1.

 

Ken Norton isn’t an ATG, Haye isn’t an ATG either, I think you are giving people too much praise for wining belts. Martin won a belt is an ATG, what about Valuev? Or John Ruiz?

 

60+ and 0 undisputed, having fought all the best in his time would definitely have him for consideration as the GOAT. He's headed in that direction now but its a longer way to go now for champions these days that only fight 2-3 times a year compared to those back in the day.

 

Because the athletic attributes required in football and the athletic attributes required in boxing could not possibly be more different.

 

Arguing with fools is always a laugh on here. Wlad was told by Banks to box Jennings not go for the K.o and Ali Bashir was furious but was not the head trainer.Clearly if they watched the fight ( i know ppl on here have trouble doing that,Wlad struggled bc he didnt WALK THROUGH jennings ?? lol ) they would see wlad won easily. Its like asking them why Ali or Foreman were troubled by young whos not even as good as Jennings right? EXCEPT they actually did struggle..BADLY...lol ..

People have no idea what they are talking about on here ,for real. Is Young a threat to Joshua bc he beat Foreman??? Id like to see that fight even done the way Ali vs Marciano was done..what a joke and straw man points by these two continuous posters on here....

 

What . Are you looneys gonna do when Wilder FLATTENS Joshua and turns him into Britain latest HORIZONTAL HEAVYWEIGHT? Greatest ever A little premature ejaculation going on in England. Just as we kicked your asses in the Revolution, Wilder destroys your china chinned wannabe great. TIIIIIIMMMMMBBBBBEEEERRRRR JOSH AND BRITAIN

 

Never lose.

Win 20 title matches or more.

Fight the best out there for the next ten years.

Then maybe based on the quality of his opposition, he could be ranked in the top 4 after he retires.

It won't happen. His best win is Wlad, and he was 41 out of the ring for 1.5 years and nearly beat him.

 

such as....hasim rahman in 2008, when it mattered!. you forgot to write that...and then FACT. u fat failure.

 

He was told to box yet put on one of his worst boxing performances, deducted a point for excessive holding, and lost more rounds than he did against Povetkin, Haye, Pulev and Chagaev in total.

Your stupidity never ceases to amaze galvatmoron.

And btw, Young was vastly superior to Jennings in every single aspect of the game, except for muscle mass(which is obviously the main criteria for you and your butt buddy to judge fighters).

 

you obviously didnt watch the fight as usual posting misinformation what else is new and as stated how would one fight take away from a better one you imbecile? ?

Young was a 20 % K. O puncher who was a a less technical fighter than Jennings,hes very good or better to you bc you have to use straw man points ...again as usual.

 

Did Banks tell you that himself?

 

Joshua needs to go down to 210 pounds or less, get 4 inches shorter and fight even smaller men in the 185-225 range. Then we can start to talk.

 

No i watch and follow boxing more than most and listen to interviews..some live ones..its not difficult at all...Well maybe for some?
