    I am not judging Joshua until the rematch, I think he has been both overrated and now underrated during his time.

    I am just curious on people opinion on how Joshua would do fighting the same opposition and Wladimir Klitschko did during his second reign.

    Do you think Joshua would go unbeaten? If not who do you think would of beat Joshua?

    Obviously Vitali and Wladimir are not included as opposition.

    AJ would have easily beaten all Wlad`s opponents.

    Joshua’s too green at the moment for me to see him going undefeated against Wlad’s best opponents during his reign. A prime Samuel Peter and David Haye would stop Joshua. Tony Thompson, Ibragimov, Chambers, and a prime Povetkin would be 50/50 fights.

    OMG Haye was completely ineffective against Wlad and was knocked out by a cruiser that couldn`t knock out Eubank Sr at cruiser.

    Prime Chagaev would have a shot as well I think.

    No. He would've lost. Main problem that AJ doesn't have Wlad's jab and footwork. Jab was Wlad's main weapon in those 18 title defenses. Both offensively and defensively. Also 'jab and grab' style when needed.

    Wlad rendered Haye completely ineffective utilizing techniques that Joshua does not posses.

    Maybe if Steward was in the corner and not McKraken.

    Let me ask you, Steve McQueen, do you think that Carl Thompson and Chris Eubank would have beaten the heavyweight David Haye?

    Saunders, Peters, prime Haye, prime Povetkin, Chris Bryd, prime Tony Thompson would have all beaten Joshua.

    In fact they'd have battered him!

    No Haye could knock out heavies whereas they couldn`t but I still think he had a china chin and that Ruiz would have hit him more than he hit AJ, Haye was not on AJ`s level at all.
