    Probably, hes somewhere between the 3rd and 5th best HW in the world and the youngest of the top 5. The titles are unlikely to stay unified for too long. Its likely there will be a belt holder weaker than Joshua at some point before he retires.

    Think it's clear who ducked who fury if he really wanted it wouldnt come up with bull**** demands and deadlines that no one with a right mind would go adhere by and the simple fact he keeps retiring and unretiring and wilder ain't fighting anyone with a pulse ever again after fury pushed his poop in three times

    His competition has been way for harder than who they have fought
    chisora for a 3rd time? Whyte who joshua had already kod? Wilder who hasn't fought anyone apart from fury and look how they turned out for him fighters on Joshua resume would destroy people on Wilders and Fury's

    End of the day wilder and fury clearly both waited joshua out with the bull**** trilogy when clearly fury was the better fighter, guarantee fury won't fight usyk and wilder will never fight Joshua/Joyce/usyk he'll stay hiding in America fighting bums and pick up a silly alphabet title fight someone like Trevor Bryan on ppv selling 75,000 lol

    Fury, as champion, offered Joshua the fight. Joshua might or mightn't have fancied it, Hearn most definitely didn't fancy it. Why? Because it's a fight Joshua loses and there's no going back from 3 back to back losses.

    Or do you actually think Joshua is a better fighter than Fury?

    There's no way back for Joshua now, anyway. He can't get back to the status he had. He can only move forward and try to beat one of the other top men.

    Joyce would mangle him. Wilder would put him over with one punch and Fury would likely beat him - although Fury is probably the one he is most likely to be able to beat.

    He was touted to be unstoppable - all of that went out of the window when he was bounced around by Rice Pudding Jr. Boxing expert @Brixton Bomber (on that user, at least) was put into retirement following a year's campaign of "too big, too strong" for him to be battered by Usyk the first time. The second bout confirmed what was already known and that's that Joshua has been overhyped and is nowhere near as good as some people, mainly from South London, have made him out to be.

    Wilder has just done a ppv with 75k buys and you have morons like Neet/short round/red beard saying he should get 50-50 from an AJ fight and Hearn not offering that is a sign of them ducking.

    Do you really think fury who every other word he spits out contradicts himself really offered him a fight with fair terms????

    Joshua all day would take that fight, and I think he'd give fury a better fight than anyone apart from usyk and maybe Joyce he'd be Fury's best opponent since Klitschko the very least

    Do you think Joshua does? He let him taste his own medicine.

    Do you think Joshua beats Wilder?

    Stallone just said Fury is the greatest heavyweight of all-time on the Jonathan Ross show while Fury was linked to the show on zoom.
