    Who's the better fighter?
    Who wins a 12 round fight?

    Joshua, from his win over Wlad.
    Tucker, from his win over Douglas.?

    AJ and boxing in general has improved since his fight with Wlad, Tucker would have had a much better chance v the AJ that beat Wlad compared to how dynamic AJ is now, AJ is a better boxer than Tucker and would beat him, but would have struggled as he was back when he gassed v Wlad.

    I think Joshua wins a decision. Tucker lingers to go the distance but he wasn’t aggressive enough to make AJ back pedal

    Joshua because he has the right mentality.

    I can actually see AJ having to come from behind, get him self a close decision. Tucker was one of the best heavy s from that era, managed to go the distance with Tyson. It's not AJ totally winning easily, put it that way.

    Tucker was very good but he seemed to be lacking something to beat the very best fighters.

    Tucker never out-pointed a fighter with AJ`s reach or dynamism.

    Tucker was obviously the better boxer, but Joshua is far too big.

    It’s two fighters from two different weights. Not fair.

    If allowed possibly, or against a punch bag. What if he’s off-set with movement and clinches and busy defending a jab?

    AJ has a better jab than Tucker had, and clinching is cheating.

    What sort of post is this?

    Tucker fought Lennox Lewis when he was shot to bits.. Why wasn't Lewis able to blow him out if he's so small??
