    I agree with what you`re saying but Lewis did kinda get battered by Vitali, he didn`t look good in that fight at all.

    I don`t feel he was even close to being a monster fighter at all.

    How many times would Ruiz have hit the sloppy Bowe, Marciano was far harder to hit than Bowe.

    What happens when AJ doesn't get em out early?I said this at the time so it's not with hindsight that AJ was mighty lucky against Whyte and Wlad to regain some energy.Ruiz didn't allow him to recoup and I don't think those two would have.
    I've never questioned AJs power or skill for that matter but his stamina is awful.

    Not a chance on earth would he beat either of these two, in fact he would struggle to beat them on his Xbox.

    Bowe would hit him heavy and hard from round one and stop him in about six.

    Holyfield in my opinion stops him whenever he wants, once he cracks one on his jaw and he shows it has bothered him, Holyfield would just simply unleash pure hell on him, his work rate and intense aggression would be too much for Josh.

    Don't think any of top heavyweights today would beat those 2 in their prime to be honest

    Holy didn`t hit as hard as AJ does and Bowe wouldn`t be able to avoid counters.

    No, Grant was nowhere near AJ`s level, he was all over the place, AJ is far more careful and focused.
