Should Joshua Be #1 P4P??

No. While that Wlad win was impressive, Wlad was 41, 17 months inactive, and coming off a loss. He isn't a p4p fighter at this point, if he ever was.
Joshua still needs to do more to even be top 10.Comment

Pound for pound is just personal opinion, not proven fact. It's not about resume. It's about how good you THINK a boxer is right now, today for his weight class. If you think he is the best fighter in the world for his weight class then put him number 1 on your list. He is probably the best heavyweight fighting today. He is not on my 10 best pfp list, I think he might be on my top 20 best pfp list if I made a list of the 20 best but I stop rating boxers pfp at 10 or 12 at the most.Comment

Joshua was MUCH better than Wlad. The only issue he had was his stamina. Wlad lost every round up to round 5, then dominated Joshua when he was burned out but got steamrolled as soon as Joshua recovered.
In other words, Wlad could only get an advantage when Joshua didn't have any energy to fight back, but whenever they were both hundred percent he was getting outboxed and steamrolled at will.Comment

So he has to beat Wlad, Fury, Wilder, and Ortiz to get in your p4p? Lmao! Bet you got Golovkin there though even though prior to Jacobs, he aint beat no one, and even the Jacobs victory was a robbery.In my opinion, a fighter has to show some consistency before getting mentioned in any p4p discussion, which means doing more than just having one great win, there's a lot of examples when fighters didn't live up to the hype after beating just one solid opponent. If Joshua beats Ortiz, Wilder or Fury - any of these names, then he's definitely in my p4p. You can't put a fighter in your p4p list based on only one performance, there's gotta be some consistency or domination in the division, that's what I think
Bet you got Kovalev there even though he only beat Hopkins, who was 49 years old.
Bet you got Loma there even though he beat.....no one.Comment
