Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua still with Mike Tyson and Wladimir Klitschko in two-time club

Mid 30ish is not really such a bad age for a heavyweight depending. I would have to say Joshua's age is probably not the problem. He also has not really been in a lot of dust ups, compared to Fury for example.

I believe his problem is he can fight well when facing an average opponent. Even a good workman like fighter but when he jumps up he's just not good enough.

There’s always going to be clowns in denial about this guy being a fraud…..he’s closer to Charles Martin than he is to Mike Tyson

I agree with el***. Joshua was never the World champion, just held alphabet belts. Same with those other guys in other weights listed in this article. The term "World Champion" is used far too capriciously today.

According to my dear friend daggum Joshua has faced the cream of the division. The elite!

Yep...i put a highlight reel of AJ dominating Ortiz, smashing Wilder for undisputed, straight up juggernauting Joyce, laying down an absolute masterclass against Zhang and boxing Hrgovics ears off. Not to mention the Parker rematch where he flattened him in 3 rounds.

I don't understand why a two-time or three-time champion is something to celebrate unless you retired undefeated and came back to reclaim your crown. Otherwise, a 3-time world champion means someone who got his a$$ whooped twice. What is there to celebrate about it?

A more respectable champion should be one who held the longest reign, not who got beaten multiple times.

Undefeated champion = nobody can beat you
two-time world champion = someone can beat you
three-time world champion = multiple people can whoop your a$$.

Your legacy should depend on how long you held that championship belt and what was the level of your opposition.
