About half as old as Matt Skelton when Joshua fought him. (LOL) If everyone Joshua fought was as old as Joseph Parker, nobody would be saying anything. That's the point. Joe Frazier fought a lot of guys around Joseph Parker's age. He didn't fight a lot of 39 and 40 year olds. And Frazier is the kind of champ Joshua is going to be compared to historically - heavyweight champs with only 30 wins or so. Because Joshua isn't going to have a lot of fights, either, when all is said and done.
I was ok with all of those defences exept maybe Takam. Still even Takam was better than some mandatory defences belt organisations and other champs have give as their voluntary. I would put him about same gategory as Washington and Breazela
Because thats what the division is full of. Also ever heard of madatories ? Lets look at Joe Joyce. Guy will probably be 36 or 37 when Aj fights him. Usyk will be 34 or 35. Wilder if they ever fight, will probably be pushing 40. Its just bad timing and madatories. Not Ajs fault. Are you seriously going to tell me right now Fury's resume is levels beyond Ajs because his opponents are younger ? You saying Otto Wallin could beat Klitschko ? Tom Schwartz could beat Pulev ? You've got to be joking. You're way of thinking is 2 dimensional
I never said anything about Fury's resume. I agreed Joshua has fought a high percentage of older guys. He has. You can try to explain it away, but he has. He's been fighting older guys the whole time. Only the last two were mandatories. At some point, that catches up to you - as Cooney could attest. Usually happens when you fight a world champ in his prime, which, again, Cooney can attest to. Sometimes, it just catches up to you when you fight an Andy Ruiz who isn't 39.
But he beat parker who beat Ruiz. And he beat Whyte who has the best resume besides old Povetkin, old Klitschko and Fury. Ruiz was just a case of styles make fights.
What's laughable is you mentioning Fury and balls. Do you mean his balls? Or the wild boars testicles that he claimed he ate when he got caught for Nandrolone? Also, someone with "balls" would fight more than 3 guys in the current top 30. And he would also fight more than 1 guy in the current top 15 for the WBC belt he has. He would also have defended a belt at least ONCE right?
If this two-fight series comes off, when it's over, Anthony Joshua could realistically have a 24-3 record and no belts. I think he's going to wish he hadn't fought so many older guys on the way up.
And what if Joshua beats Fury ? Then what will you say ? I think a lot of people here will be quite surprised by how well Aj does against him.
This is not my business to talk about past time. Fury had balls to fight Wilder in U.S TWICE and A.J had balls to fight supposedly obese Ruiz and 39 y.o Pulev. Ohh, I had been already enough surprised by A.J fans in forums and A.J too. ref vs Parker fight for your pupp kid. Ruiz I and Ruiz II fight. 39.y.o Pulev : kids in forums love to insist how Usyk had struggled with Chisora, sorry, your boy A.J stuggled a lot with 39 y.o Pulev. If your boy had took Usyk and Wilder plus 3 rd fight with Ruiz in close row, I had nothing against him. Even if he had lost these fights. Nope.
You're delusional. Wilder ducked Joshua and if you ask me id rather see a fight between him and fury than a fight between him and ruiz
You are delusional and like 99% internet posters do have big chip on shoulder about yourself too. Damn big chip on shoulder. I do not care about internet opinions there. I wish to see competitive matchups. God with you, if for example Ruiz and Usyk agree, I better see Usyk vs A.J or Ruiz vs A.J III or A.J vs Wilder than things like A.J vs Pulev!!!!!!!!!
Wilder has fought quite a few old guys, overblown SMW's, nightclub bouncers, Uber drivers, pastry chefs, supply teachers........ Errrrr, sickly Bermane Stiverne.... TWICE! The oldest Cuban boxer ever to win nothing........ TWICE! See how it works.....?
When i'm 40 years old i'm going to have nightmares about a 6'6" 250 pound roadman breaking his way into my room and trying to take my head off.
