    No version of Pulev would beat Joshua. A good fighter but never a top contender.

    I think Joshua is becoming a bit underrated on here now. He’s a good top 5 HW - beats anyone not named Usyk/Fury and perhaps Wilder. He’d definitely beat any version of Pulev imo.

    Not underated but he's found his level which is outside the top 5. Fury, Usyk, Wilder, Joyce and a current fit Ruiz In my opinion would beat AJ.

    Joshua, you should've posted a poll

    I think AJ will lose to anyone in top 15, who can punch him first in the face


    AJ as right now, not old version

    AJ already knocked him out and always will.

    What a ridiculous post.

    Ruiz in the shape and frame of mind from AJ #1 would always have a chance against AJ (and did), sure.

    Usyk's beaten him once and probably will again as long as he's not lost something in the horrors of 2022.

    Fury... I just don't know...
    The Fury that beat Wlad IMHO would beat AJ easily. Current Fury I just don't know, Fury in Wilder #2 looked really good but Wilder is pretty awful besides power and hasn't fought any other contenders so it's really unclear to me whether those wins justify considering Fury as being as good as pre-break. He didn't look nearly as good in #3 either.

    Wilder? He's got power but he's really limited and hasn't beaten a single legit contender... So I'm not backing him to beat a guy whose got a bunch of contenders on his win list.

    Joyce? Looks great against journeymen but predicting him to beat AJ is brave when he's not proven against anywhere near that level of opposition - he's getting old and needs to step up fast.

    It's a bad matchup for Pulev. AJ's got the power, size and speed to beat any version of him.
