    While Joshua was a cashcow, who could've fought anybody he wanted to, but was protected by Eddie Hearn, & feasted on inferior competition, until he started getting beat in cherrypicks gone wrong.
    How did he cherry pick when he fought more notable opponents than Wilder and Fury from 16-21

      There were no notable opponents BUT Wilder & Fury.

      All the rest of those dudes were no-hopers or old.

      The only decent one was Ortiz & he ducked him when he was still dangerous.

      There's not one fighter he fought that would've been favored vs. Fury or Wilder.

        Another thing to point out is that AJ has only beaten 4 champions. One of those has the second shortest heavyweight title reign of all time, and another only was a champion because he beat AJ. Klitschko was coming off a loss to Fury, and I'm not sure if Joseph Parker ever ranked higher than like 9. Loma beat 8 world champions, not counting the questionable loss to Haney, and 17 of his 20 fights were title fights, compared to 12 of 29 for AJ.
        Loma's never been stopped, and had largely taken over the fight in each of his losses, but started too late and lost on points. AJ got knocked out, and then got outboxed and basically dominated twice in a row by a smaller man coming up from a lower weight class.
        ​​​​​
        Bear in mind that this isn't an apples to apples comparison either. In fact, it's a pretty weird comparison.

          Now teofimo and Russell jr werent highly regarded? Smh.

          Loma fought them while they were undefeated and in their primes.

          Joshua didn't deliver Wilder and fury when he had control of the heavyweight division. He let his promoter play games and now he got 3 losses and never fought either of the 2 guys he's compared too.

          That's the difference in Loma and AJ

              Teo was coming off a 2 round destruction of Commey for the IBF title and was a hot young prospect for the prior few years. He wasn't overlooked at all. You guys just make sh** up to fit your dumb narratives I swear

                  Loma is the better fighter, simple as that.
