    AJ is far better than Haye, DH had lousy fundamentals,he was pitiful v Wlad.

    I could see Sanders or Brewster stopping him in their first fight considering

    That was a prime Wlad, not a 41 y/o.

    No! The following beat him:

    1) Prime Pulev boxes Joshua's ears off, right off his head!

    2) Prime Povetkin smashes Joshua to bits and puts him into hospital near permanently.

    3) Ruslan Chagaev pulls off another Andy Ruiz Jr on Joshua.

    4) Calvin Brock gives Joshua 12 rounds of boxing pre-schooling, right from the school of Carolina.

    5) Prime Samuel Peter does the same as Povetkin, essentially hospitalizing Joshua.


    I hope I haven't missed out anybody. But in my mind, the above 5 no doubt beat Joshua!

    I think he beats everyone except that I do think Peter from the first fight is a horrible matchup for him and he just might lose that one. AJ isnt good at any of the things Wlad utilized to get by Peter successfully. And Peter was at his absolute best that night. I just dont see AJ doing well with that combination of power, chin, pressure and aggression.

    Povetkin would be interesting but Id still lean towards AJ to win it late.

    I probably would favor him to beat everyone else other than Peter.

    Haye was slippery and dangerous, only guy to ever to rock Valuev for example.

    He’s 30 in a few months time and since he only fights twice a year now that only about 10 more fights so he could last that long if he really wanted to. Though personally I can see him retiring in 2 or 3 years at most. Shorter if he loses the rematch against Ruiz.

    Valuev was far slower and more predictable than AJ.

    You're either deluding yourself, or you're completely bat**** crazy. The Wlad that beat Pulev, destroys AJ, the Povetkin that fought Wlad destroys AJ, Chagaev gives him hell, Chambers would't be an easy out. Peter and Haye violently KO him, Sanders might as well. Ibragimov wouldn't be a walk in the park. Hell... with Wach's chin being as good as it was when he fought Wlad, a late onslaught TKO win wouldn't shock me from him either. Quite frankly, I still think Pulev could give AJ a run for his money.

    He would take at least 5 or 6 loses if he had to go through all the fighters Wlad fought during his 22 fight unbeaten streak
