The best of Cleveland Williams vs Anthony Joshua

I heard from a guy at the pub that The Big Cat would beat any of the 3 stooges - Wilder, AJ or Fury and lard-ass Ruiz any day of the week. I'm going to agree with him.

 

AJ goes into a shell when he is tagged now.Williams would catch him at some point and take him out imo ,but its really either man's fight.

 

This may start a Cleveland war!!

 

I agree. Slight edge to Williams now, but I'd favor pre-Ruiz Joshua. He hasn't been the same since imo.

 

@Pugguy armor up!

 

lol as much as I'd love to agree, I can't.

He'd probably beat the Wilder of last fight. He looked a shell of himself, and perhaps post-Ruiz AJ, who hasn't looked the same imo, and probably beats Ruiz more times than not given Ruiz's inconsistency, but if all four were at there best, I can't see him picking up a win against any of them as much as it pains me to say.

 

Any war that involves fighting for Cleve is a HOLY WAR. In fact, his left hook was THE Holy Grail of power punches.

 

I just shed a tear! I'm so proud.

 

You should be proud.

I typed it out exactly as you told me to in your PM. <jk>.

 

Pre Ruiz AJ wins
Post Ruiz Williams wins

 

I agree with the caveat that Joshua seems to have returned to form in his last fight with a truly impressive stoppage over Wallin. I’d favor that version over Williams as well.

 

Beating Wallin doesn't do much for me.
