Would beating undefeated champion Wilder in the US be Joshua's best win?

It would've been seen as his best win since Klitschko or better due to Wilders age

 

No, Wlad win is still the best win AJ's career .

 

It would have been his best win at any point until he lost to Fury imo.

 

I agree too. That would have been his best win because it would have occured in a clash between two prime undefeated opponents.

 

Klitschko and Povetkin and Parker.
Joshua got 3 names better than Wilder in resume.

Yes. Parker looks much better now and he is probably in his prime time but still he beat Wilder in their fight pretty easy almost all rounds.
Povetkin is name who was potential fight for Wilder but still he avoid this fight for almost 2 years if I remeber this right.

Klitschko is masterclass. Even if he was old he was still name whos Wilder also avoid in his carrer and even when he lost to Fury and Joshua still Wilder want no smoke with him- only talking how Wlad must win some fights to be in ring with him.

IMO not. Klitschko will be always better/bigger win. Two other is good question after all we know right now.

 

Yes.

 

Still this Povetkin was nightmare for Wilder and his team and still this "never champion" was the reason that Wilder avoid fight with OFFICIAL CONTENDER almost 2 years...
Ortiz best win is Bryant Jennings. He also was old when he fight Wilder and in their first fight he was one step from KO Wilder out. Wilder got 20 second more break after worst round.
Soo yes. Maybe not all agree but still Povetkin was someone who Wilder just duck. Joshua win with him by KO.

Yes Klitschko is masterclass. He was legit Hw on highest level. Yes he lost to Fury but still Fury choose to avoid their reematch and getting fat talking nonsense about how he hate boxing even when he got extra $$$ to sing contract with reematch clasule.

And soo what that was hard fight for Joshua? He show spirit and end of the day he show better spirit and champion class than Klitschko because both got hard problem here and Joshua is the one who win after all.

And even after loss with Joshua Wilder dont want smoke with Wladimir. He only saying in that time that "I can fight Klitschko but first he must deserve it"...

When Wilder meet top opposition whos name was not Stiverne and Ortiz he loose bad. Thats true.

 

The fraud train would come crashing down regardless, and the victory would end up looking so-so with perspective.

 

I think so, yeah.

We all know Wlad, Povetkin, probably Pulev were better than Wilder. Let's get that straight. But they were all old and Pulev was literally messed up by Covid too.

Undefeated Wilder was better than Ruiz, Parker, Takam, Whyte, Wallin etc. and I would say more dangerous than the old gold medallists.

The proof really is that they ducked him for so many years because everyone knew one punch could wreck that brand for good and lose them a fortune. They already saw what the near loss to Wlad did to his performances.

 

Eddie Hearn in April 2018:

"Wilder is a massive high risk fight and it’s the biggest fight in British boxing. Yes, Joshua wants greatness, but it is also a business. I wouldn’t expect you to take a job that was much harder and much more risk for a similar kind of money. You would just keep working on the easy stuff. This is a massive job - the biggest job out there - but what’s the money? It’s just a little bit more than you’re on at the moment. He is not worth 60/40 - nowhere near. I’m sorry but that’s the reality. Maybe Josh will pay over time, but I don’t think he should. This is the biggest fight of his career and maybe the biggest fight of his career forever.”

It certainly would have been perceived as Joshua's best win and oddswise it was seen as a more dangerous fight than 41 Wlad in Britain or America but especially on away soil. Going to America to beat their prime, undefeated, long-reigning KO artist champion (the most decorated and formidable American heavyweight H2H since Holyfield, plus a far bigger one punch KO threat) is a major feather in one's cap. Dethroning Wlad in Germany could be seen as a greater accomplishment but Joshua didn't dethrone Wlad either.

 

Wlad (at least prior to 41 and with a favourable referee) was better than Wilder, prime Povetkin maybe but not Pulev.

 

Wlad and Povetkin would stay above.
