Why are AJ fans going on about him being a potential 3x champion?

I’d prefer never to lose titles to C level fighters like Andy Ruiz than join that group.3X heavyweight champions:
Muhammad Ali
Lennox Lewis
Vitali Klitschko*
Michael Moorer*
Evander Holyfield (4X)
*Moorer and Klitschko only count if you include the WBO title reigns they had before the belt was fully recognized
I think Joshua is overrated but obviously anyone would want to add themselves to a list that only includes Ali, Klitschko, Holyfield, Moorer, and Lewis.

But I thought Usyk was easy work and a mismatch? That’s what you said.
So why would AJ get credit for beating an overmatched opponent at the second attempt?Comment

Usyk wasn't a huge upset. At least not for anyone who knows a little bit about boxing.
Ruiz was a big shock, but was put right.
Pretty much all fighters lose fights. In most cases, if they didn't lose a fight it's because they didn't fight enough decent opponents. I don't see being undefeated as anywhere near as impressive as coming back from defeats.
If Joshua beats Usyk it will be a huge feat. Both in terms of Usyk's ability and also having the strength to come back after a pretty convincing defeat.
3x is hugely impressive. That's why it gets talked about.Comment
