    Lennox ices him so I'd confidently pick Lewis to win.

    Bowe and Holyfield are a real handful for him and I think he might freeze up if he had to face peak Tyson complete with baddest man on the planet tag. If Whyte made him nervy then what would Iron Mike have done?

    Prime Wlad and Vitali prob beat him at this point whilst Foreman is the only ATG looking further back I think would have the size and power to hang in this day and age with all the advancements that have been made.

    ATM no one beats him IMO but if I were pushed I'd go for a Wilder Hail Mary to win me that cash. That seems massively unlikely to me though.

    Bowe of Holy 1 with the hunger and in great shape, is for me a great h2h fighter and stops the best AJ ive seen so far. I think Holy stops him late too !

    Loads, but you can’t name any?

    No one beats at present apart from a Hail Mary from Wilder.

    Lewis could beat him, but I’m betting a million and Lewis got caught by Rahman and McCall.

    Ali. He would move, he would stick, he would tire him out until the difference in speed would be very substantial and then pick shots at him.

    Vitali Klitschko I think.

    I rate Lewis higher and Wlad is pretty much as good as Vitali but I chose him because Vitali has the best chin of the three. Therefore Joshua's puncher's chance is almost nil.

    At present, nobody. If I really had to choose someone then Povetkin. However I think old Wlad had the best chance of beating Joshua. With Fury gone and well out of shape there isn't anyone out there with as good a chance of winning against Joshua.

    I'd pick prime Lennox or Vitali, I rate Lewis as the best H2H thus far and Vitali matches up very well with his iron chin, reducing Joshua's puncher's chance.

    No one at present though.

    Joseph Parker will pancake the glass-jawed Englishman.

    That's if Takam doesn't do it first.

    Prime MIKE Tyson would have the best chance to land a flush shot on Joshua and blitz him with fast combos which would also nullify Joshua OWN counter punching game possibly.

    Im not sure everyone STILL doesnt realize Joshua is a 6'6 fast explosive counter puncher who prefers close range fighting. Good luck to W.Klitchko or Lewis on that one . I'll take 5'10 Tyson to get the job done here bc hes was the best counter puncher in history and has faced top tier punchers like Bruno/Ruddock and even Lewis before so his chin is certainly proven to take one to give one..

    No one had Tysons defensive skills in HW history a perfect counter puncher with equal power and speed that Cus Damato created who was the most intelligent trainer of all time.I Yes at 5'10 he would really have to work hard but its a style clash the more difficult to hit fighter is going to win here and right now i think gives Tyson the best shot here.

    Theres not many guys that could nullify Joshua's pressure once he decides to come in,so you NEED a top tier inside fighter to do that unless you have power and are bigger than him and keep fight at distance.

    Ill take Tyson. He will be straight up and under those long Joshua arms and thats all she heard.

    I think Usyk is AJ's biggest problem currently
