Not throwing blame around, just stating the facts as they are....but it's not just the division but also choice of opponents. The Ring top 10 and champion of those 11 he has fought 2. None higher than the 8th guy.

Again, not blaming, just saying.
Ring ratings have Bellew at 10. Enough said I think.

But for what it's worth. Based on your 'guys inside The Ring top 10' selection process. Joshua is matching himself harder and better than anyone else no? Fury hasnt fought anyone inside the top ten. Neither has Wilder.


Master where's the issue with someone being a champion yet not the finished article? Lennox Lewis was far from the finished article when winning and then losing World titles. It's nothing like extraordinary.
Lennox had earned his title shot beating undefeated Gary Mason, gone through the titles and at least gone the distance.

However I am not blaming AJ, it would be criminal for him not to take the opportunity presented to him. Every other great heavyweight would have taken the title under these circumstances.

I am just pointing out how poor the division really is and Bellew at number 10! No wonder David Haye has not called it a day.
