I don't disagree with much of that however the various governing bodies were set up many years ago so there was clearly a desire by some to dilute the quality of each title belt even then.

Frank Bruno was not very different from Joshua really - he had 21 wins by KO before his first defeat but had 30 fights before his first heavyweight shot. Unless something changes quite quickly I can't see Joshua having to face fighters of the quality Bruno met during the latter part of his career.
