    Beating top 10 Wallin and dude who almost beat top 1 in that moment (many belive he win) is not bum beater resume...

    They all became "bum" after Joshua fight. Before people hard belive that they are great boxers. You too.

    I remeber quiet good that some people think AJ will need judge fake decision to win with Wallin and I remeber how many people saying that Joshua will be KO by Francis.

    Please stop

    Canelo by a big margin, but that's to be expected considering he's still a unified 168 champ.

    Franklin was a decent comeback opponent, Helenius was a late replacement, Wallin was a top 15 - bottom of top 10 guy, and Ngannou had just given Fury a tough fight. For a fighter trying to recover from back to back losses it's not bad but it's not particularly good either.

    Canelo since losing to Bivol has fought old GGG who's better than all of AJs recent opponents, Ryder who's better than all of AJs recent opponents, Charlo who's better than all of AJs recent opponents (although he jumped two weight lasses for the fight), Munguia who's better than all of AJs recent opponents, he'll be fighting Berlanga who I'd only say is better than Helenius and Ngannou. Should be mentioned though that Joshua was trying to fight Whyte instead of Helenius and is now fighting a genuine top 10 contender and belt holder in Dubois. Canelo has fought these guys while blatantly ducking Benavidez, while Joshua has fought his guys as a way to slowly work his way back up to the top. Not really a fair comparison.

    Well said as disappointing as Fury has been lately people forget he tried to make the AJ fight.

    Best available? Franklin? Helenius? N'Gannou? Wallin? Literally better available opposition in every single case.

    Call me out when canelo got the balls to rematch bivol or fight benavidez. While Canelo literally ducked anyone capable of giving him a good fight and literally go all the way down to 2-3 divisions lower looking for "worthy" opponents.

    Many gave Wallin and Ngannou chances to pull a massive upset while non of canelo's opponents after bivol has been seen as a threat.

    I remember how you were attacking the WBC for making Joshua #1 contender earlier this year, So, I'm still waiting for you to call out the IBF for ordering Tszyu vs Murtazaliev after his loss.

    Perhaps you have a personal issue with Joshua.

    So you've found a way yet again to make another AJ hate thread for the 100th time ?

    For someone that dislikes AJ you sure do like talking about him alot I think you secretly have an obsession over him.

    I mainly follow the HW division tbh.

    Not really a personal issue. There are just more deserving fighters than AJ.

    NEITHER of them have risked a damn thing. Canelo stopped when he insisted on fighting
    a retired fighter from 3 weights below him Jermell Charlo instead of manning up against Benavidez , his #1 contender for the last 3 years. Dmitry Bivol gave him the beating he deserved because he believed the hype " Bivol cannot punch look how few KO's he has" hasn't fought anyone worthy since then. . AJ fights Ngannou a joke MMA fighter lol

    to me its canelo. however aj is back on the rise. where canelo is just on his mayweather agenda. Joshua I believe will keep stepping up as long as hes winning and want to fight the best guy. canelo don't want to fight benevidaz right now clear duck

    When you stop trolling and making the same bait AJ hate threads over and over where you don't even reply to any points made in your threads then maybe it would be worth replying to.
