A guy fights for the right to be a shot caller. If a guy can't seem to win fights on the road, he can always retire.
Dethrone the king and have fighters come to you.

Don't even put AJ in the same sentence as Loma or GGG. They never fought once really in their own backyard. They travelled their whole careers. They weren't gifted an Olympic medal in their own backyard. They never got KOed by a little roly poly boy the second they stepped out of their comfort zone. They never got outclassed like AJ did the other night.
Admittedly Usyk is a fine fighter but AJ is still a couple weight classes above him really. The fact that he looked so out of his depths against a smaller man like that is sad.
No one would ever say AJ is some unbeatable monster now, you're right. You'd have to be a complete idiot to say that after he got KOed by Ruiz.

You're talking about hype. Thhose two were hyped far beyond Joshua. People were claiming Golovkin was the best MW ever.

I'll say it again since you apparently can't read; we know you can't judge fighters at all:

GGG fought his whole career at MW, on the road or neutral, and had some very impressive runs there. His only close fight in that time was at 37 vs a very good fighter, and he still had a claim to winning that fight, scoring a KD. Anyone with 2 eyes could see that he beat Canelo twice, the number 1 pfp fighter in the world, outlanding him by about 80 punches over those 2 fights.
His performances were better and his circumstances were worse than AJ's. He deserves to be hyped much more than AJ. Pfp he is a much much better fighter.

I don't know about that. He was much better than AJ though, so he was a lot closer to his hype in general. There's really no debate about that.
Loma lost to Salido and Lopez. They were inferior to Ruiz and Usyk.
Golovkin fans were claiming he was the best MW ever, Loma fans were flat out saying he was the best fighter ever. Both fell far short of that. Joshua was only claimed to be the best HW now and it's still possible for him to achieve that, a win against Usyk in the rematch and it's back in play.
So Golovkin and Loma are far bigger hype jobs.
