    I don't see Joshua stopping Holyfield. He took punches from Tyson, Foreman, and Lewis.

    its quite clear Bowe was heavy legged and off balance when misses, not accurate with power right hands thrown wild with wider technique and was easy to hit.He also threw looping punches he never learned to throw straight ones.

    Talent level isnt close,the only thing close is inside fighting which also advantage Joshua bc he stays squared up on opposition which lets him get off harder shots and better combination targets bc he has access to the entire body and easier stance for co unter shots unlike stationary ,sideways Bowe with limited targets.

    Add in speed and power ......its clear who the better fighter was.

    Your serious, I know you are ! I'm an AJ fan, proud hes british an all that, but Bowe is a monster prime compared to any AJ we've seen so far. AJ's good, but hasn't the skill set or fluidity of Prime Bowe

    But he took big shots from harder punchers like Forman, Bowe, Tyson, Lewis, Rahman etc. So your point is pointless. Prime Evander wears down Joshua and then stops him late. No way he could keep up the pace with Holyfield.

    Washington...has been more active/coming out of Klitchko camp( fighters tend to be dangerous afterwards) and weight. miller nearly 300 pounds is either going for or against him? im a N.Y guy but? Putting $$ on it io would go with the x factors here along with whos fought better opposition in boxing.miller has great exp. in combat all around but this is one skill. Washington seems focuses..miller seems reliant on talking smack....we will see? ..

    either way its good for boxing to see these guys fight...i do feel miller would generate more explosive fights.

    Hard fight to really gage...Washington by UD would be my guess. Miller does have home town advantage...this should be interesting.

    Prime Evander has no such wins to suggest he wins against huge athletic Joshua. My points always have a point unless i clown around....this isnt one of them.:nonono

    Holyfield could always handle big guys, bowe and Lewis both were faster than Joshua I don’t know what you are watching, he has little footwork, there’s no faster punches from Joshua than both bowe and Lewis plus they definitely had more skill it might look like he’s faster because these heavyweights Are so slow and are easy to hit bearing mind most of the fighters he has fought are too heavy all 240 to 260 pounds and nobodies (slow over weight 2nd tier fighters) even his defining fight to date is against a 41 year old fighter ( very ponderous ) who was out of ring for 2 years almost.we saw in the Takam fight that got stopped way too early how a smaller guy in height with no where near the speed skill or heart of holy could live with josh, Holyfield had to deal with faster smaller guys and the larger guys, Holyfield easy wins.
