What Is Anthony Joshua's Legacy?

Just facts:

Amateur WC silver medalist
Olympic champion
2 time 3 belt unified HW champ
9W - 4L record in title fights
Defeated 8 top10 rated HWs

Very few have donne this much. Gotta respect.

 

People would be more forgiving of Joshuas losses had he cleaned out his era and fought more big names. If there was a good resume to go along with the losses they would be less of a problem

 

Out of the three? Yes, clearly.

3rd best in the division though? No way - Povetkin would've dominated him for starters, Whyte probably would've beat him (hence the ducking) and Parker might always have beaten him too... Heck, I've long suspected Chisora might've beaten him too.

Wilder really was a paper tiger - a fiction as a serious contender, and only even a fringe contender because he had the power to have a punchers chance against most.

 

Glass Joshua. No Chin. None.

 

The thing about Joshua is he missed out on so many of his contemporaries that it seems impossible to rate him even in the context of his own era.

How do you suppose we rate a guy who shared an era with
Fury
Usyk
Bakole
Zhang
Wilder
Kabayel
Dubois
Joyce
Hrgovic
Hunter
Etc
And failed to beat any of them?

How can we be confident he makes the top 3 or even top 5 of his own era
Lennox at least proved himself a standout in his own era

 

Chisora openly said many times he didn’t want to fight wilder, mainly because he wants to stay alive.

nobody dodged Whyte or Chisora, they are on a similar level and we saw how poor Whyte was against fury. The hype he made in the media was seen clearly to be false.

and povetkin fight was on. Or was it wilders fault povetkin popped dirty?

 

Weirdo, this thread has nothing to do with Lewis, yet you mentioned the Vitali fight as criticism when Lewis beat him ? What does Vitali have in common with ddd ? This sounds like a cope on two fronts.

joshuas resume is mythical dog crap, this is why dubois blasted him out with 0 difficulty.

 

Revitalised a dying division and igniting the whole UK boxing scene

 

You're the one who mentioned Lewis in an aj thread first no ? You're the one going off topic. You're the one wasting time.

I don't care what you think, it is meaningless to discuss Lewis when the topic is anthony joshuas ranking after the Dubois massacre. He never separated himself from the rest of the pack like Lewis and his resume is crap. You even mentioned Ngannou as one of his top wins, I rest my case. Hypotheticals are irrelevant

 

Serge is good lol

 

Everyone in boxing is exposed as a hype job at some point.

 

He's a hypejob and he's not beating Dubois

Name his top 10 wins and list their age, shouldn't be difficult

joshua fans were clamoring that he had the best resume, claiming that he was in the midst of his prime, joshua said he was hitting harder than ever before, came off of 2 good performances, aj fans claimed Wallin was a top 10 fighter. Guess what happened ? Dubois smashed him with little effort, and what did aj do ? Ducked the rematch. That resume is a myth

The fact you even think the Lewis comparisons are valid is insane. Serge is a clown
