Im not knockin' Joshua but I am putting size queens on blast here... Enough of the BS!!!
1) Biology accelerated and made super heavyweights that would flatten the SMALLER fighters of yesteryear...
2) Boxing like all sports follows the same trajectory and boxers today are bigger, stronger, faster than yesteryear.
3) There will never be an average (for the division mean from 1920 on) size heavyweight champ again.
And all the other nonsense we get here. First off: Joshua to train for this fight, and be mobile and have endurance came down to a weight below 240... fact His opponent who has all the characteristics of a throwback fighter was lighter @220ish and Wilder who us the premier puncher in the division comes in between 220 and 230ish.
There are more bigger heavyweights now... Not better, not more skilled... just more bigger heavyweights.
So lets try to put the BS to rest.
