    I can still see Joshua beating many high ranked heavyweights

    There are not many Ruiz and Usyk alike guys around.

    I don`t believe he will beat usyk in a rematch, but I believe he is still one of top 5-8 guys and I see him beating many top 20 ranked guys.

    I would favor him over Hrgovic for example. Hrgovic is slow and he is nothing like Usyk.

    Joshua seems to be more comfortable fighting slow guys.

    AJ still within this range albeit at 3

      He beats most. He can outbox Joyce as he’s so slow and easy to hit.

      He beats Whyte again. He probably beats Hrgovic.

      If Wilder gets stopped again he’s done.

      It’ll just be Fury and Usyk that he ain’t beating.

        Ruiz wasnt that good though. Ruiz looked like crap with a shot Arreola. People only claimed Ruiz was this great fighter after he beat AJ.... if you take away AJ then what has he done? We said Ruiz was great because we have been overrating AJ all along.

        It shows that AJ lost to a lower level obese opponent. It could happen again. His handlers have to be careful with his next fight. At this point anyone in the top 20 has a chance to take him out.

          I think he has a good shot against anyone other than Usyk and Fury.

            What top heavyweights?

            The whole division is a pile of trash ruled by one guy.

              AJ is a good fighter but man he has mental issues in the ring now - so much so that it visibly shows. He's like Rocky before he fought Clubberlang in Rocky III. He's way too civilized now, too calculating, tries too hard to make logical sense of his opponent before he acts and makes decisions. Yes there's a place for that, but you can't always rely on logic or calculations. Sometimes you just have to dig deep and act purely on grit, determination and emotion. That's what he did when he beat Klitschko. In that fight Klitschko was the one doing way too much calculating and now AJ has become that kind of fighter. It's disappointing. I mean he was letting the smaller guy back him up throughout the fight and never truly demonstrated a seek and destroy mentality like Chisora did vs Usyk. I don't think AJ beats any top HW unless gets that killer instinct back. Say what you want about Wilder, at least he knows how to tap in to that killer instinct during the fight.

                  One of the top 3 divisions in boxing and the best HW era of all time. I'm so happy to see the back of the terrible 90s era of HW's, which I was around for. Fury is the GOAT. Usyk would have embarrassed Mike Tyson and Chicken Bowe twice as bad as he did Joshua. Nash out.

                    It depends on his mental state. I mean if I had the money he has I would have been long gone. If he is tuned Id pick him over everyone except Fury and Usyk. Wilder is a kind of a toss up but its that way with anyone Wilder fights.
