    Do you think Fury would get away with what Wlad did to Povetkin? All of those fights are huge toss ups for me.

    He is very flat footed if you watch. The likes of muhammad Ali who fought 15 rounds would run circle around joshua.
    He was exaughsted the only reason he won today was because Whyte wasted so much energy and was finished.
    If Joshua fought Fury or klitchsko Joshua could get knocked out

    Yes, but he would be easily be the closest.

    Fury would not be able to last against his power and would get overwelmed.

    Wlad's too old to last against Joshua.

    Absolutely great fight, haven't seen this good of a HW fight in quite awhile. Dillian showed some great heart tonight and also showed he has an excellent chin. If you are reading this and go what an excellent chin? He got knocked out! Yeah but look at the shots he was taking all damn fight, those would have knocked down MOST HWs waaay earlier if hit by them and knocked them down over and over again. People have to watch that fight and take that into perspective; just no way most HWs take those shots. The fact that Whyte did shows he's just got a really good chin, to take that long to knock him down, it surely wasn't that Joshua doesn't pack power. Our current champions I don't think have as good of a chin as Whyte, not even close in my opinion (although Wilder hasn't been truly tested in this regard but I don't see him taking those shots) so they better be damn careful when fighting Joshua.

    Like how when Wlad landed and Fury didnt flinch?

    Joshua doesnt have the engine to last 12 rounds. His body isnt built like that. You put him in the trenches and he will gas. He is explosive but when his energy is gone he wont even be able to block the shots coming.

    Fury has different genetics and can go the distance. You also underestimate Fury's ring IQ.

    I think Joshua easily bullies a guy like Povetkin tbh. Povetkin is even shorter than Whyte and has a far shorter reach. Joshua would keep him at a distance and just pumel him.

    Maybe not but he'd use his footwork and jab to outbox Povetkin being so much bigger with so much longer reach. Povetkin does have a good pucnher's chance though.

    Wilder I think matches bad for Fury and Povetkin given his attributes.

    Joshua, I think he's better than all of them potentially... but right now it's too early too say.

    Wlad would still kill Joshua.

    For someone who is an Olympian, Joshua sure gave up centre of the ring quickly.

    Wlad would just jab him and the big right would come over the top and Joshua would be done.

    INCORRECT. The state of the art mixture of chemicals Joshua takes likely allows him to perform at his muscular best for 12 rounds! Fury gets obliterated :good

    Wlad didn't land much or even try to land.

    Also with Fury, he even had a tough time dealing with Joshua in the amateurs.

    The first round was badass, the 2nd and 3rd not so much, the 7th was definitely badass though.

    He got over confident in the 2nd round. He dominated the first and in the 2nd was simply looking to finish Whtye. After he threw he just stayed in range and that saw him get caught throughout the 2nd round until that left hook landed. He then re-established his jab and moved a little more and that allowed him to regain control.

    It was a good learning fight for AJ, hopefully he and his team realise what he did wrong in round 2 and ensure he doesn't repeat that mistake in future fights.

    You mean when Wlad landed flush in the late rounds when he was an exhausted 40 year old man trying to cut the ring off?
