    I think he’d lose to at least one or two of those yes.

    Only one with the punch variety to match AJ would be Tucker or maybe Douglas, he`d beat the others but Ruddock and Smith would be dangerous and Tubbs hand speed would be bothersome until he would be stopped.

    He'd possibly lose to Tucker on points!

    Any midlevel, lowerlevel contender from the past, i.e Galento, Meehan, Moran, Cockel, Cooper would shred that group of old, lazy one dimentional fighters easily. A VERY bad grouping of sure losers and setups.

    Based on the performances put up by those listed, against Tyson at the time, I'd have to suggest that several of these guys would beat Joshua.

    He punches harder than all of them except Bruno, Smith and Ruddock, plus he`d have a reach advantage of them.

    Tillis fought okay v Tyson but that style of lying on the ropes wouldn`t work v AJ because of his reach.

    Cooper was too small to deal with someone the size of the 6`5 Tucker who took Tyson`s shots well.

    Tucker would stand the best chance.

    It's all about styles, he wouldn't look as impressive against some of those but would finish the likes of Smith and Ruddock in a more spectacular fashion.

    Definitely, out of the lot of em he s the more able to beat him. He'd be a lot harder to beat on points than Andy Ruiz was!

    This^ type of reaction is just rooted in pure Joshua fan-boyism, which you bring to this forum month in; month out.

    So far, Joshua has beaten journeymen; old men; gone the distance with the first world class fighter, in his prime, that he faced; lost to the second one he faced and, even then, to a truly out of shape chancer. Yes, he has come back from that loss to beat the guy that beat him up, but there's a ways to go, yet.

    Joshua still has a lot to prove.
