"Klitschko had him on the floor. It was one of the most exciting heavyweight fights I have seen for years, it was a great fight, but it wasn't Muhammad Ali, it wasn't Joe Frazier, it wasn’t George Foreman, it wasn’t Kenny Norton, it wasn’t Earnie Shavers, all these guys.
"Joshua has had three title fights and comparing him with Ali? It is beyond stupid.
"He has got a heart like Ali. Ali had a big heart and AJ has got a tremendous heart. He has not got a bad engine, I've seen him a couple of times where he has got a second wind in fights.
"But what he has not got is Ali's chin. Anthony Joshua does not have Ali's chin, that is for sure."
Fresh from his stoppage victory over late replacement Carlos Takam in Cardiff, Joshua is undoubtedly the biggest name in British boxing right now.
But Warren argues that the 28-year-old is going to be overtaken sooner rather than later by the up-and-coming Daniel Dubois.
Dubois turned professional earlier this year and wasted no time in knocking out each of his five opponents since April.
The 20-year-old is also understood to have dropped Joshua during a sparring session back in 2015 and 'AJ' has insisted that their paths will cross sooner rather than later.
"I try not to go over the top but I personally think, at this stage of his career, he [Dubois] is the best heavyweight I’ve seen in British boxing in my time in boxing," said Warren.

"He has something special. He has sparred with Anthony Joshua, he has sparred with a lot of professional fighters and he has more than held his own.
"He really came alight in the trade sparring with Anthony Joshua and how well he did against him. He put him on the floor apparently. That’s inspiring. It’s not the real thing but for a young lad to be doing that and doing it on a regular basis with fighters shows what he is about."Explore more on these topics:
