Comments Thread For: Joshua: I'm The Best in The Division, No Doubt, It's Been Proven!

[aboutfkntime]

So who are these three other factors?

Wilder stepped up to his first decent level opposition around fight number 45. Joshua hasn't even had half those fights yet?

All in perspective.

but Joshua is obviously in no hurry to face Wilder

that counts

Wilder Fury Joshua Povetkin, are really the only four live dogs in that conversation..... soon, there will be two

more haters in here for AJ.....

The jobs never finished you gotta keep proving yourself

I want to be a Joshua fan but until you’re willing to fight Fury or Wilder it’s not proven and you don’t get the nod when you’re ducking

No one is number one in the division until the big 3 fight each other and one is left standing.

So he thinks, beating up 40 year olds makes him the best!

Wilder has a few more years to wait. Then he will get the business. What a shame.

This is the Heavyweight version of Amir Khan, another Glass Jaw fraud!!

All hail the king of the division. Every other fighter is a challenger.
Keep roaring, the lion of the division.
No one does it better.

Another person who doesn't seem to realize what has actually happened so far or has just distanced themselves from it via media coverage.

Before tonight Joshua has had only 21 fights. He is unified four belt champion of the world. He has fought hall of famer Klitschko who was openly dodged by Wilder, he's fought Whyte, Takam, Parker, Brezeale as well. Povetkin will be the second top3 (boxrec & thering) heavyweight he has fought in a row.

Meanwhile fury has had 27 fights. His 22nd fight against someone called Joey Abbey. Fury at the same point was just about to start stepping up, taking on Chisora, Hammer and then Klitschko in his next three fights. His resume best win after 21 fights is probably Kevin Johnson.

Deontae wilder, well his resume after 21 is even worse and not worth even mentioning names. His 28th fight was Harrison, 33rd Stiverne and his 40th Ortiz! So his step up was not only way way slower but his interim easy fights in between far more in quantity.

So let's get away from dissing Joshua, he has plenty of time in his career and Povetkin isn't exactly an easy interim fight at all.

Let's be realistic here, wilder AND fury were top10 when Joshua was on his debut. He has now far surpassed them to he stage they are claiming being ducked unless they are offered £15mil mininum fights. Reality is, they are jealous of what AJ and matchroom/Eddie Hearn have done.

We all agree the fights need to happen, wilder Joshua in April hopefully - and fury Joshua only once fury is properly back and fit - but AJ has to start taking much easier fights before anyone can criticise what he is doing.

The big 3? No please. The big 2.
