COONEY, RUDDOCK OR GOLATA, WHO'S MOST LIKELY TO DEFEAT JOSHUA?

All 3 would be beaten easily. AJ is great at blocking left hooks, he blocked six even while hurt by Wlad, Ruddock`s smash punch would be harder to see coming because mid flight it turned into an uppercut.

 

Ruddock hardly landed anything on Tyson and Tyson at that stage was in decline and would have been knocked out by AJ.

 

Ruddock couldn`t take a shot like the one Wlad landed on AJ, Ruddock said Tyson didn`t hit him as hard as people said, Freddie Roach sparred with Wlad and Mike and said Wlad hit harder but Mike`s hand speed caught you by surprise, it`s the ones you don`t see.

 

When Cooney fought Holmes Larry was at a much better stage of his career than Tyson or Bowe as they limped on into the 90`s, Bowe fought well against Holy then started putting on weight, also the Bowe that got serious again against that Cuban guy would have exposed Golota, Tyson was finished when Rooney left, so Cooney is the best of the 3 other than Ruddock`s smash punch being a wild card element.

 

You are joking ? Ruddock hit Tyson with some monster shots and it was back and forth at times. This was a prime Ruddock imo and he was tough and hit like a mule. Them fights damaged him with Tyson. On what I seen v Tyson, I got no problem saying Ruddock could wreck AJ

 

I agree if Bowe was serious he would of beat Golota decisively. Bowe imo is top 5 h2h

 

How many rights did he throw at Tyson? He was basically a one handed fighter at this point.

 

Some of those monster uppercuts that tyson ate like nothing would put joshua on a stretcher

 

Freddie roach sparred with wlad and mike? is he trying to get himself killed?

 

Of the 3 I'd take a chance with Ruddock.

He was the best puncher of the 3 and probably had the most guts. He fought Tyson all the way to the final bell (12 rounds) with a broken jaw.

Plus Razor would whip that hook in there somethng fierce. It came from all kinds of angles it was very dangerous when it came up like an uppercut which it might do heading up towards the taller Joshua.

Wlad got Joshua in to Trouble with the left hook as did Whyte. If Ruddock lands clean I have no doubt he'll hurt Joshua. Ruddock scored highlight reel KO's over Bonecrusher and Dokes two former belt holders. After Tyson he was all done, mentally mainly but his punch resistance had also diminished after the two wars with Tyson.

In his Prime Razor vs AJ is about a 50/50 fight for me, slight edge to Razor.

 

Cooney couldn't even take a punch from Michael Spinks.

Galota would stand a chance of outboxing Josh if he can control his urge to hit low when frustrated or quit when hurt as he did with Tyson.

A prime Ruddock is probably the best opponent chin-wise.

 

Except it wasn't an uppercut, it was a overhand right.

It would help if you actually watched the fights you comment on.

And as far as I remember, Ruddock stood toe to toe with Tyson twice about 10 years before Golota bitched out after 2 rounds.

 

Have you actually seen the fights?

 

i don't think joshua could beat golota from the bowe fights.

golota was all around a better boxer, way better footwork, lateral movement, jab, defensive maneuvers, ripping combos outside and inside...

i was shocked how joshua gassed midway through the fight with wlad... imagine joshua taking those low blows that bowe took? no way is he fighting back like bowe

i don't think golota would mentally fall apart in this fight, remember bowe hit him with some hard shots and knocked him down in the second fight, yet golota fought back... it wasn't untill he saw that bowe is unbelievably tough and won't quit no matter what, that he panicked and foul his way out... no way does joshua has the guts, chin, stamina like bowe to break golota apart...

golota boxes his head off and stops him mid rounds... joshua may hurt him but he's gassed after he throws a combo or two, and eating golota combos and maybe low blows
