    Why does everyone act like Joshua is superman

    Are we forgetting his terrible chin

    Like wlad vs Brewster
    Or Lewis vs McKenzie and Rahman
    Or Tyson vs buster
    Or a lot of james tony fights out boxed massive until that one shot lands
    When you haven't got the best chin every hw fight is dangerous
    So it's not gonna be as one sided as you think guy needs to cover up and try to land that one perfect shot

    Definitely not superman but to say his chin is terrible makes no sense either, he got up from a corker from wlad and survived getting knocked out. He looked very vulnerable at times against wlad, so am guessing anyone with a brain knows the man isn't invincible. But the question is who out there can test him in the same way? They seem to have trouble getting through training let alone fight Joshua.

    Wilder is a fraud and will get exposed in my view so there really is no one, in the next 5 years or so anyway. A fit Haye would have a good chance but he is a man out of time.

    I can agree you get people believing Joshua could beat any fighter in history, which I have trouble understanding. But this happens with a lot of fighters doesn't it, the fans pin all there hopes on them and logic takes a back seat. Nothing new is it, the cycle goes on, Tyson was unbeatable even after Douglas beat him up for ten rounds.

    Ok I exaggerated a little bit but you get my point it's not like he's got a cast iron chin is it

    I don't think any rational poster on here is acting like he is superman...

    But the flipe side is you trying to suggest he is weak or some sort of david price... if he has proved anything its that he has more strengths than weaknesses.

    He is in his 20th fight, still learning hes in exciting fights and is challenging himself dont see what wrong with that to be fair.

    The problem comes when you compare that to Wilder... its night and day to me until wilder proves otherwise but that gets wilder fans nose out of joint.

    He looked vulnerable against Wlad because he was fighting a great fighter that had come to win, who was also very skilful and could knock you out or seriously hurt you with one shot..It was a brilliant acid test even if Wlad was past it, he still came to win BIGTIME..As you say, theres no one to test him now. Prime Haye would be a nightmare for AJ

    Superman had kryptonite as a weakness, Joshuas is his chin. Every boxer has a weakness.

    I don't think anyone's under the illusion that he has an iron chin except baiters and people trolling.

    James Toney had the best chin in recent history, nobody KO'd him in his career, down a handful of times more often due to slips or balance or the clown Lucas Browne thinking he was in a wrestling match !

    What are you on about ?

    More than a bit I'd say lol if you are genuine in your argument you are at the other end of the scale, thinking he is trash. Which makes as much sense as those that believe he is invincible. Bad as each other....
