    AJ would get KO'd by VADA.

    Joshua, Parker, Ruiz Jr, Martin, Washington, Brazeale.....

    They're all pretty close in LOC and result vs that type of opponent.

    Hughie Fury also ranks up there as well.

    Really though, while they're all consider prospects for the most part, they're all right on the cusp of contention.

    Washington, and Ruiz don't belong there. Parker, Joshua are a notch above the rest with Fury closely behind. the others are ok but nothing special.

    And, ULTF.....

    I'd like to add that Brazeale seems to be another Mago....

    His defense is lacking, but the chin and power are certainly there, and he's got something Mago lacked......SIZE.

    I have a feeling Joshua is no different than Price. Glass Jawed and will wilt at the first person that punches back. His opposition has been awful.
