    C'mon bruh.

    You honestly felt the need to make this thread after deliberately typing the names Michael Spinks and Larry Holmes. **** outta here bro.

    I do agree that Joshua's resume is pretty good but you can't compete with Holmes and Spinks. Even if they were both past their best.

      Tyson was undisputed and lineal champion. He won the WBC, WBA, IBF, Ring, and lineal titles (this was before the WBO or IBO).

      Joshua never won the lineal title, nor the WBC or the Ring.

      End of discussion.

              Broner has never won a lineal championship, nor has he been undisputed.

              That's why there is a distinction made in the first place.

              The lineal title is a true world championship, not a paper title handed out on political terms by a sanctioning body just trying to make a buck.

                keep it real larry, holmes was a walking dead man against tyson. there is a difference between not fighting for almost 2 years and being retired. larry was done with the sport, wlad was in hibernation, he is a gym rat so always stays in shape.

                  Would you take that Holmes to beat the Wlad that Joshua fought?

                    Have you seen Holmes' record post the Tyson fight?

                    Any way you cut it, Tyson's destruction of Holmes was a good win - and probably better than Joshua's win over Wlad considering the following
                    • Holmes is higher regarded than Wlad
                    • NOBODY had ever man-handled Holmes in the fashion Tyson did
                    • Holmes had a good run post Tyson
                    • Wlad had been KO'ed before
                    • Joshua Wlad was a competitive fight - Tyson Holmes was NOT
