Which fighters have signed for tougher fights than Joshua has at 21-0

[Madison Boxing]

Any American fighters in last 10 years? Considering their fans are the most critical of coward Joshua?

[juggernaut666]

No HW in history has the quality or caliber of fights Joshua has had.

Ali comes close for HIS era but lets take a look at his top 3 .

1 . Alis 20/21 Fight . Sonny Liston , past his prime with injuries and over shadowed by shady mob dealings .

2 . Alis 22nd Fight . Floyd Patterson . Very small heavy at 6'0 and 196 pounds, was down over 15 times in his career .


3 . Alis 19th Fight . Henry Cooper .He had accumulated 8 losses before facing Ali , he weighed 185 pounds .



This is the closest guy PER fight and you can see the MAJOR difference who Joshua is fighting compared to even Ali who isnt remotley close . None of these guys were undeafeated either and only Patterson is actually a young guy in the 60's standards .

Maybe in other classes but ?


Loma and Usyk are lighter weight classes which makes an unfair comparison bc they are able to fast track quicker with less to worry about .

Loma definitely.

I know Mayweather turned pro in 1996, but he has a great opposition after like 21 fights. I don't pay too much attention to those that criticise Joshua now. They were not doing the same for Wilder at 35-0.

Joshua's ascended quickly and for someone who's been around such a short amount of time his resume is pretty good, true. There's a reason he's seen as the consensus number 1 right now.

That said, the fights you've taken and won can be overshadowed by the fights that you avoid.

So we've got usyk and lomachenko (two p4p top 3 level fighters And decorated amatuers) and mayweather one of the best of all time, so far. Any more names? Surely got to be hundreds ahead of this 'protected coward' ????

[Larry the boss]

Joshua is 28 and his 21 fights have taken 5 years..lets put things in perspective here

in 5 years Floyd (24) was lineal at 130 with 8 title defenses with a win over p4p ranked Corrales..

In 5 years Mike Tyson Mike Tyson was the undisputed lineal heavyweight champion of the world with 9 title defenses

man ya'll are giving Joshua credit FOR SIGNING TO FIGHT PEOPLE AND ACT LIKE FREAKING PULEV IS SOME MONSTER??? OH HE SIGNED DOE!!!!


Dude has his first real challenge in front of him and ya'll act like it should not happen like he has already sealed his damn legacy!!! It is pathetic

[TheBigLug]

who are these great challenges that he's faced?

A shot Klitchsko that had been schooled by Fury, 41 years old and coming off a huge layoff?

A snoozefest v Jospeh Parker who sc****d past Andy Ruiz and a green Hughie fury?

And now Povetkin who is nearly 40 and almost got iced by big David Price in his last fight and looked crap v Hammer.

He's had some decent wins but he's hardly been running some incredible gauntlet of fearsome opponents. He might've beaten some names i.e Klitschko, but the reality of where these names are at in their career is a different story altogether.

I'm not knocking him, he's done well, but let's not make it into something it isn't.
