    Of course he can be... Whats the big deal with this guy anyway? Beat Klitschko while almost being KO'd in the process and old and past it.. Common! hes a great fighter but I dont get all the hes invincible talk here... Still not proven at all IMO.. Lots of flaws on this fighter.. He is good but far from being elite still..

    Only way he could lose for many years to come would be by shock ko, only dw I see has that type of power and aggressiveness. He withstood a bunch of wlads BEST, CLEANEST and shots that ended fighters for 2 decades. Wlad came in light and very fast which is how he could land those. I don't see any prospective hw coming up with what's needed.

    Great fighter that just keeps getting scary greater fight by fight

    Joshua is really good but there are fighters who are a huge risk right now. Fury would beat him, I don't like Fury but his style is all wrong for Joshua. When Klitschko was light on his feet AJ couldn't land cleanly at all, Fury isgoing to dance around and win a boring UD. Another problem is Wilder. Now I have Joshua as a favorite to win that fight, but Wilder's right hand is scary powerful, get hit with that and you're done.

    Of course he can be beat, it's already been mentioned on here it almost happened against the 41 year old Wlad and the relatively moderate Dillian Whyte also had him on ***** Street for a while.
    It's heavyweight boxing,they can all hurt you, they can all take you out, anything can happen.

    Better question is "when will he be beaten?"

    I think DW beats him... Fury at his best definitely beats him.. his style would be a nightmare for him.. But I definitely got Wilder if they fight

    He nearly was beaten. Big fan of his but he didn't exactly look invincible against wlad.

    I'm not a fan of AJ but he'll only be beaten by two types of fighter:

    1) Someone with a granite chin who can outbox him.
    2) Someone with a decent enough chin who can bang.

    I don't think any real fan wants to see this fight so ofcourse we're more likely to see this ****.

    Lol!! Really?

    Well for starters ask Mihai Nistor. And Wlad was VERY close.

    There is no need to outbox him. If just there is someone that have avarage power and can take punches, AJ will bite the dust, if a fighter like this goes to the exchange with him. I even began to wonder what if Breazeale went life and death vs AJ, he would've probably got the same victory as the one vs Ugonoh.

    Breazeale doesn't win against AJ. They are worlds apart.

    Ortiz / Wilder / Fury / and maybe Klitschko all have a chance. Ortiz and Wilder have a punches chance although Ortiz looked poor taking 7 rounds to take Allen out. If Fury was fit right now AJ would need to avoid him for a few more fights. Klitschko has a chance but hopefully AJ has learned (and he is still learning with a relatively short amateur career and only 19 fights into his pro career its odd how people talk as if he is the finished product).
