Vitali Klitschko of 2004 knocks Joshua the **** out. Probably before round 8. Anthony is nice and straight up and RIGHT THERE for Vitali. Hardly any mobility or head movement. He'd get picked off by Klitschko nonstop.
Joshua would get hit a lot in this fight. Until he's tested in those type of situations we don't know how he will do. As of now Klitschko stoppage would be my pick.
Not trying to diss Joshua here, but I have said before that I would take Peak Vitali over any fighter who ever lived, in a head-to-head bout. Maybe Joshua lives up to that standard. We'll find out more as his career goes on.
That's no diss to Joshua! His name getting mentioned in the same sentence as Vitali is being VERY, VERY kind to him. Prime Vitali busts him up.
The thing with Joshua is we don't know how good he is yet. He might go on to become a dominant champion for the next several years or he could get KO'd in his next fight and fade in obscurity. It's still way to premature to be making these kind of fantasy fights.
Between him and LL for me, but basically agree. That said, just like the Tyson AJ thread, let's see how his career goes before putting him against ATGs. I'm not even going to vote, we have no idea how good he is yet.
