Anthony joshua destroyswilder in 4 rounds if they fought

[IronDanHamza]

He has KO wins over Cornish ranked 68th, Kevin Johnson ranked 66th Raphael Love, ranked 84th, Michael Spratt, ranked 73rd and Dennis Bakhtor, ranked 78th so he has 5KO wins over guys ranked in the top 100. It's time for him to step up to heavyweights ranked in the top 50.

Ranked by who?

People were saying the same thing abut Wilder before he fought and defeated Stiverne. Almost all top fighters fought nobodies and then got a signature win.

Ok what's your point?

People weren't wrong in saying that about Wilder.

I wasn't impressed by Wilder knocking over window cleaners and taxi drivers and I'm not impressed by Joshua doing it either.

Ranked by boxrec. They are the only ones I know of who rank all the boxers in the world. I am not saying their rankings are better or worse than any other rankings but if you want to see where not very good boxers are ranked then boxrec is your only choice. Most ranking places only rank the top 10 or at most the top 16. I was just kidding around. He does need to fight a good heavyweight to prove he is good.

I'm just shocked that Micheal Sprott was in the Top 100.

I am not good with computers and I don't know how to do links. Fury said it in an interview somebody put on here a day or two ago.

People WERE wrong about Wilder in saying that beating lower level opposition wont help him against Stiverne which obviously was not the case. The POINT is that just because a fighter has not fought top guys DOES NOT mean he cannot prove himself in a bigger fight, just like Wilder did against Stiverne. I don't need to see Joshua fight someone better to believe he has a chance against Wilder anymore than Wilder needed to fight someone better to defeat Stiverne.

Joshua can jump right into the mix just like Wilder did. Maybe you demand Joshua fight someone to prove he belongs with Wilder but Wilder didn't have to do it against Stiverne and neither does Joshua with his skills and background.

You initially said maybe Joshua can fight someone in the top 100 before we can start discussing it. Obviously based on many fighters leapfrogging to the top, we can start discussing it now because many people see that as one of the best matchups in the division.
