    Know what I'm thinking? That an interesting fight would be max Baer v Joshua. Can we see AJ going the same way as big Primo now??

    Nah, Joshua has a punch to keep Baer off, won't have a ****ed foot and has better footwork anyway

    That's all true, he'd probably get a decision over max. But he'd still have to be on high alert, old Maxi could bang and we saw what happened in the first fight.

    Joshua is better than Carnera, especially in the 230 lb range. Carnera wasn't a bum though, and the conaprisons are apt.

    I think Carnera has a better chin.

    Joshua at 237 is definitely faster. That probably being because Carnera was a 260lbs monster. Carnera still somehow has equivalent if not superior stamina

    Baer has a much longer reach that Ruiz and better stamina, I still reckon a sharp Baer could rally by winging punches and catching Joshua. Joshua also isn't tested over 15

    Yeah I mentioned the 15 round issue in the Baer vs Josh thread.

    Is the discord working for you?

    Yeah I knew what It meant.

    It comes from my Nana, she likes to think she's artistic. So she named me her "precious devil" and my sister her "beautiful nightmare", I had mine a lot longer than my sister due to age, so it ended up being shortened to Devil, then Devs. So one side of my family call me Devs. It's ****ing annoying.
