    So what, he was still operating at a very high level.

    AJ would throw far more jabs and fight at range than Peter did, he`s better at using his 82 inch reach.

    Rahman knocked Lewis out with one punch, how the hell has a cruiser thrown a harder shot than that? Bruno caught Lewis flush and couldn`t stop him and Frank was a heavyweight power hitter, no way does Gassiev hit a hard as Bruno.

    His man boobs would slap the crap out of most on that list, but MAYBE AJ has enough cojones to survive being hit at will.
    Some of those big CW's might give him trouble; Breidas I think wins a UD but he boxes rings around the statue Gassiev, Chisora
    might win a decision. He wins vs the rest. Seriously, he beats Bellew up.

    Not as high as Usyk, he`s got better fundamentals.

    Holyfield was a cruiser and rocked Lewis in the 2nd fight. Not so surprising when you think of what happened to Rahman in the rematch.

    Doesnt matter. Toney as a cw was highly regarded.

    Lewis walked through Vitali`s shots and Holy punched harder as he put on muscle that doesn`t always happen, he had proven strength at heavyweight.

    I don`t think he was rated in the top 10 P4P by that stage and looked awful at the lower weight v Griffin in 97.

    Griffin fight in 97 and Jirov fight in 03 are totally different fights.

    The only fighter would give Toney problems is Joshua with his size...otherwise he would beat everyone on that list. It's prime Toney we talking, iron chinned counter punching genius. How is Gassiev going to stop him?...pure nonsense.

    I never said Gassiev stops him, just beats him
