Riddick Bowe likes his chances against AJ

Bowe looks a much better boxer, more fluid and more skills but that doesn't mean he wouldn't be wiped out by Joshua. I really wouldn't be surprised to see Bowe box his head off and getting the stoppage but neither would I be surprised to see Joshua wipe Bowe out like Lewis did against Ruddock.

 

Bowe has alot more stamina and throws alot more punches than Joshua, but Bowe was not that hard to hit and had shown that he could be knocked downand pretty much out by single punches from good but not great punchers like Holyfield and golota.
I would favor prime Bowe just because of the disparity in punch volume and the fact that joshua has shown he can be hurt also, even if it took a bigger puncher than holyfield to put him down.

 

Bowe would knock him out early to mid rounds, no way could joshua keep the pace

 

Bowe wins.But Joshua is not in his prime yet, we will see in a few years

 

I'd favor Bowe at this point.

 

Sounds like Bowe is capable of much clearer thought still than what was reported. AJ is still a hype/work in progress with many hills yet to climb before a final assessment can be made.

 

Watch the first two rounds of Bowe against Herbie Hide then imagine it was Joshua throwing the punches.

 

Bowe.The klitschko fight exposed lots of Joshua weakness (stamina,one punch ko power,chin,speed).

 

I'd pick a prime Bowe or Evander at the present time.

 

Nothing to add really, other than to say the other posters have got it pretty much spot on so far, favoring Bowe with circumspection and giving good reasons to.

 

I'd pick both Bowe and Holyfield to beat AJ. I don't think he could keep up with their work rate and stamina. Although, I like his chances more against Bowe than Holyfield due to Holy's superior chin. But Bowe would have to beat at his best to beat AJ. I think even the Holyfield of 1999 would be a tough test for AJ let alone the Holyfield of 1992.

AJ would have a reasonable chance if he fought the Bowe that Golota battered.

 

I don't know about the first part or when the end would come, but I agree with the 2nd part.

I don't think AJ could keep up with this pace. Now if he could, I may favor him over both.

 

Bowe is the better fighter in every way.
