    Has past-Usyk Joshua really separated him self from other guys?

    Don`t think so.

    Franklin
    Helenius
    wallin
    Ngannou


    So, he only beat Wallin, who was N.10 by the Ring by the time they fought.

    Fighting Dubois, Kabayel or Zhang will be actually a huge step up for past-Usyk Joshua.

        The Wallin fight was good but I think the Ngannou fight got him some extra love because Fury had a stinker against him and embarrassed boxing a little bit. AJ wiping him out gassed people up.

        AJ also really knew Wallin very well - he beat him a few times as an amateur and has sparred x amount of rounds with him. I think people who knew that felt he would be confident in there. And a confident AJ is a top top heavyweight.

        The main thing is AJ appears to be stepping in behind his punches again and is seemingly at peace with the fact that whilst his makes him a more dangerous fighter he's at risk of getting dropped and stopped himself..

        Zhang I feel is the most interesting. I'd love to see that.

          Shot Wilder already beat Helenius, and would probably beat the other guys on that list.

          Parker is way ahead of him when you compare recent wins.

          Joshua has been slow walked back, but that's a good thing. He'll be full of as much confidence as possible coming into the Dubois fight.

            Let's not forget that plenty on here picked Wallin and Ngannou to beat him and he demolished both.

            Wallin was a decent win.

            Personally I think Joshua has separated himself from other guys over a full body of work. Losing to Usyk wasn't as bad a defeat as it was made to be on here.

              Wallin was the only good win/performance. He’s the clear #3 guy though.

                Wallin is fringe top 10

                ngannou is 0-2

                    They were neither of those things before each fight.

                    Ngannou was 0-1 - with many thinking he beat Fury, would beat other highly ranked fighters, and would give Joshua problems. That wasn't my view personally - I just think Fury was under prepared and overrated.

                    Wallin was ranked 5 by TBRB and highly ranked by orgs. Had just beaten Gassiev and was remembered for giving Fury his toughest night. And he was given a great chance of beating Joshua by many on here.

                    Then there's the fact that a loss to Usyk didn't diminish Joshua's standing as much as some thought. He was still a top heavyweight.
