Holyfield brain is shutting down day by day .....Joshua is 16-0 ....thats 3 defences every year for the next 11 years ....thats almost impossible to do for any great heavyweight in history ...

He's not going undefeated in today's division either, not unless he fights bums for the next 11 years. Too much quality opposition in a division where everyone can hit.

not impossible, but unlikly. he would need to box till he is 40+ and 2/3 per year.

I have never been more su****ious of a boxer in my lif - this guy is a product. He was gifted decisions in the olympics, he got gifted a title against a bum, has been getting more press than fellow countryman Tyson Fury (even after he took down Wlad) and people are certain he will be an ATG already with no significant wins and a 16 fight pro record.

Seriously, has every name in boxing got together and decided "this is the guy we want to represent boxing for the next decade"?

No one beats him in the current division in my opinion...I can't see many fighters in the current scene being able to cope with Joshua coming at them...especially when he gets another 2 fights under his belt.....but being undefeated for the next 10 years is way to much to even consider... Give it 6 years and if he's still champion then we can start talking records lol

I'm not sure how Dillian Whyte and Charles Martin match up vs the opposition Marciano was fighting below 20 fights, but I think that Joshua is fighting at a higher level faster than Marciano. A quick glance at the records of the guys Marciano fought before his 25th fight, shows they were all journeymen. In other words, Joshua is danger losing his 0 some where in his 20s pro fights

The inflated win column that was prominent in the past is no longer tolerated by today's fans. Fighters are pressured into stepping up much sooner now, it will take a fighter to fight at a real fast pace to get to 50 fights now.
