    Joshua does not have an elite opponent on his resume. All of those you have listed are 2nd tier heavyweights. Closest is Wlad, two years coming off a loss. Even Wilder has fought Fury twice

    You should be encouraging Joshua to finally step up rather than settle for a wider list of lower grade fighters
    Stop trolling. If they are such 2nd right fighters then wilder and fury wouldn’t be avoiding them and would have taken them on too. Simple as that.

    If you want to claim they are 2nd rate try taking just one punch from any of them yourself.


    Fury has taken on two opponents of note in his career, winning 2 out of 3.

    Wilder has taken on two (including ortiz) and has 2 out of 4. Wilder has fought a couple of more mid range compared to fury - beating brezeale & stiverne (fight one only). He has had a number of bottom end of top20, Molina, arreola, etc.

    Joshua has literally moved upwards - from Whyte he took on Martin for a belt. Since then he beat Molina who at the time was known for rocking wilder at the time. Since then he’s continuously took on top opponents - Klitschko and Parker were both top3 at the time. Povetkin, Ruiz , Takam and Pulev were all top15 for sure. His record isn’t really debatable - when your “easiest” fights are the likes of Brezeale, Pulev and Takam you have a bloody strong record. There aren’t many fighters in any division but certainly not the heavyweights who are near him in that respect.

    I would love for wilder and fury to take his lead and take on similar levels of opposition.

      Great counter and great addition to AJ's armoury. Just disappointing he didn't use it more often and looked hesitant in rounds 4-8. But great sign of his want to develop.

        When he dropped that pull counter I was shocked. Never though AJ had that in his locker. I knew his boxing has improved post-Ruiz but that was a pleasant surprise. AJ is nowhere near as robotic as previous. Be interesting to see if he can connect with one of those against Fury and whether Fury would eat it.

          Ok trolling. Let’s look at that

          I can’t group fighters together because they would undoubtedly knock me out? Explain how that isn’t troll logic

          Attack the argument not the messenger

          Joshua has a wider range of B level heavyweights on his resume

          Wilder/Fury have more A level heavyweights on there. Joshua has yet to step up, despite having a wider range of opponents

          Remember the heavyweight division is extremely top heavy. At the moment, the only person with a great win is Fury, even if he doesn’t have the volume of B level fighters as Joshua

            That was my favorite mayweather punch. Beautiful punch.
            Yeah, it was a lovely shot.

                Didn’t he destroy Martin doing that ? Anyway A.J the best counter puncher over 240 we’ve probably ever seen . Total nightmare for Fury imop .
