Was Anthony Joshua any better than a Prime Cris Arreola?

[NihonJim]

I was having this discussion today with a boxing fan in the pub and we couldn't decide.

Personally I think prime Arreola would probably beat Joshua up, although Joshua has a better resume, I think they are hard to split.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Arreola would beat AJ
Of course Chris in his prime

Arreola on a good day could give AJ trouble, but its pretty harsh to try and put him on the same level overall considering the massive difference in their success.

Who's the alt?

Who's the alt?

Usyk hater, Wilder defender and now Joshua hater. Given the Wilder love and comparison between Joshua and Arreola I think it's safe to say it's one of our American users who hates eurobums and thinks today's heavyweights are worse than those of the great depression era.

Any time Arreola stepped up to B level fighters he got dogged walked. Arreola wasn't confident enough and had mental blocks when it came to A level competition

Yup, that & the fact that big punchers were Arreola's absolute Kryptonite means that imho AJ's very likely got this one.

Yes. Ten fold.
