    Def not. Oscar, pac , cotto, canelo mayweather and prob wlad made more money than joshua until now. You need to understand it will be very hard for joshua in UK to make the money boxers make in US. In US ppv is 3-4 times more expensive than in UK.

    I tend to believe no, almost certainly NOT. But... the foundation is there that it COULD potentially happen. If AJ keeps winning, and scores victories against the likes of Fury and Wilder, and such victories propel him into a long reign - it's POSSIBLE. But I believe it's extremely unlikely, as I think AJ's flaws will catch up with him sooner or later, and while a loss might not devastate his drawing power, it will probably preclude him from reaching the incredible level achieved by Floyd.

    Could be, boxing keeps getting more lucrative each generation.

    i dont think aj is good enough to remain at the top long enough against people that fans would pay money to see, for him to collect a billion. outside of uk, nobody wants to pay money to watch aj beating up on nameless nobodies. to the ppv paying public outside the uk, the hw division is a bunch of nobodies outside of aj and wilder. fury getting embarrassed next time he fights for a belt.

    Most elite boxers use some sort of PEDs but they are not deep in PED addiction as Anthony Joshua is, in Anthony Joshua case his addiction to PEDs is Irreversible & the sincerity of you questioning his use of PEDs is questionable...
