Joshua is just a complete fraud imo.
He's just a gimmick fighter who was hyped to the hilt by Matchroom and Sky.
His whole career has been one very clever and lucrative load of BS, he's never fought anyone truly dangerous and in his prime.
At some point he was a very hungry fighter but he has spent way too long with that nauseating promoter of his and then decided to just take the easier options for max money.
Who have been the top 3 most dangerous opponents Joshua could have faced in his career ? .. Fury, Wilder and maybe a prime Ortiz ??
The fact he has gone through his whole career and fought none of these guys is just horrendous and proves what a total fake he is.
I am ignoring Uzyk because he is not a dangerous fighter, he is a very good technical smaller fighter and was never really going to spark out Joshua.
Fair play he's made a ton of money but his boxing legacy is nothing to write home about.
A rematch with Whyte is just so Eddie Hearn with the usual grudge BS thrown in.
It amazes me the UK boxing fans still swallow this crap
Not Usyk?
Fury, Usyk, Wilder would be the pick. Folks underestimate Usyk at their own peril.
Whyte is the level below that.
Joshua has struggled to agree fights with 2 of those, and while there's loads of nonsense flying around, Wilder and Fury are probably more at fault for that fight not happening than him. At one point they actively froze him out, despite him having more belts.
Now Joshua is over hyped, don't get me wrong - but he still has a better CV than Fury and Wilder.
Klitschko, Parker, Povetkin, Usyk, Whyte, even Pulev are serious names to have on your CV.
Ortiz was already past his prime by the time Joshua was an established fighter.
Wilder is the biggest joker of all - how many champions has he actually fought? He took on what he thought was a finished Fury and got pulled into a trilogy, apart from that, you're basically scraping the barrel
