Joshua is just NOT on the same level as Lennox, Wladimir, Fury, Usyk OR Wilder!

A peak Wladimir would have starched Joshua, and if a peak Vitali had chinned him years ago he'd still be on life support!Last edited by OLD JUD; 09-21-2024, 07:54 PM.Comment

I see many of the fights of the aforementioned champios live, and I don't miss a trick.
I certainly am speaking ESPECIALLY about Deontay Wilder.
With this 5th round KO loss, his 4th loss whilst in his PRIME, Joshua, in spite of a great career featuring many great moments, ABSOLUTELY now falls a shade behind Wilder, who suffered just 2 losses while in his prime (and those to the one linialchampion), racked up nearly twice as many wins; and clearly possessed the kind of power that A.J., with all due respect, could NEVER withstand.
So the era now looks somewhat like this:
The current era is 2015 - 2025
1. Oleksandr Usyk
2. Tyson Fury
3. Deontay Wilder
4. Zhilei Zhang
5. Anthony Joshua
6. Daniel Dubois
7. Joseph Parker
8. Andy Ruiz Jr
9. Martin Bakole
10.Luis Ortiz
11.Wladimir Klitschko (old ver)
12.Agit Kabayel
13.Dillian Whyte
14.Joe Joyce
15.Jarrell Miller
16.Alexander Povetkin (old ver)
17.Derrick Chisora
18.Kubrat Pulev (old ver)
19.Filip Hrgovic
20.Charles MartinComment

Wilder never fought Miller, Joyce, Ruiz, Parker those fights were all one phone call away but Al Haymond was never interested in making any of those fights and instead lined him up bum after bum, this wasn't even the top of the HW but Wilder didn't want it despite having the WBC. Wilder only had some success against fat rehab Fury in the first fight (the only reason he took that fight is because it was fat rehab Fury), The second fight is what would've happened the first time around if Fury didn't have his mental breakdown. There are too many questions on Wilder to put him that high on the list. Zhang is also too high, Hrgovic is too low. AJ too high, Dubois below AJ lol. Bakole is not top 10. Ortiz is not top 10.Comment

Top 10 is still difficult to make since Usyk needs to fight Dubois again. There are too many questions on the first fight. Klitschko in top 10 above Bacole and Ortiz. Since he was ahead against AJ but faded later, also Fury had to completely overhaul is way of fighting to just be able to deal with Wlad. Below Klitschko I'd put Joyce. Ortiz and Bakole out of the top 10. Zhang Miller fight would have been a close close fight so Miller should be higher and Zhang Lower.Comment
