    Povetkin and Klitschko both destroyed Rahman. Joshua destroys him too.

    I’d expect Joshua with his head switched on would outbox and eventually stop him. Rahman has a chance though as he does hit like a brick **** house.

    Joshua from December 7th would do to Rahman what he did to Ruiz.

    Joshua from June 1st would find out how Lewis felt.

    In fairness I think Rahman was pretty far gone but the time he met those two and practically ancient by the povetkin meeting. I also happen to think that those versions of Klit and Povetkin might have beaten Joshua. That said I’d probably still favor Joshua but I don’t consider it a given. Rahman beat Lewis,Sanders and also should have beaten David Tua.

    You think young Rahman beats Wlad and Povetkin?

    No.. I’m saying that your comparison is irrelevant given that

    1. Assuming Joshua faced Rahman at his best then it wouldn’t be the same guy Klit and Pov destroyed anyway.

    And

    2. I think the versions of POV and Klit who beat the ancient Rahman might have beaten Joshua

    Rahman would have rendered that overrated bodybuilder unconscious!

    AJ rises from the canvas twice from a quickly fading Rahman and comes back just like Maskaev to stop him.

    Those were the worst Joshua I've ever seen. He had no business losing to Ruiz.

    AJ would have toyed with him and stopped him midway through the fight easily.
