    The bodybuilder would have been viciously stopped by Lewis so bad. He would be permanently retired. He wouldn't go on to fight the others. It would be over in the first fight. lol

    If we're talking at their best then the only fighters i really favour Joshua against, apart from the obvious one aka Butterbean. Is Tommy Morrison, George Foreman, and possibly an aging Larry Holmes aswell.

    I think Joshua could box a passive fight and outbox Big George similar to what Morrison did, and i think Joshua stops Morrison. Although Morrison's left hook would be dangerous, remember how Ruiz caught Joshua with the same punch. Larry Holmes liked to lay on the ropes alot in his 2nd career, i don't really think thats a good tactic vs Joshua.

    But overall apart from those three fighters i don't see Joshua beating any of the others, unless Mercer has one of his off nights as he could be inconsistent.

    PS i just read the post again your on about the same night ? Well then.... just disregard my post.

    Sounds about right....lol!! Some posters have AJ bouncing straight back in the ring after being annihilated by Lewis to beat Holyfield and Bowe.......must be some strong 'gear' going around in this forum!!

    If they scraped him off the floor after getting splattered by Lennox, he'd be dead after Tyson, so, yeah.

    Joshua wouldn't even beat Eric Butterbean

    Adding Moorer is overkill

    I actually would pick Joshua to win that fight, reason being Moorer's glass jaw

    Its a 50/50 fight at best

    Joshua has quit in him and a suspect chin. Perhaps Moorers southpaw stance gives the bodybuilder Usyk flashbacks and forces him to spit that gumshield out.

    You never know when we're dealing with someone who lost to jabba the hutt on 2 weeks notice

    AJ getting underrated nowadays. He wasnt as great as he was hyped up to be but he isnt that bad that butterbean would whoop him cause fatboy Ruiz did.

    While he certainly loses to most, I'm not sure if he loses to all, he has decent chances against some (Mercer, Morrison) and certainly beats Esch (wtf even). He isn't that bad at all.
