would anthony joshua survive in the 90s era

He couldnt survive.

He was KD'd by a cross landed by grandpa Klitschko, he was concussed by a no name fat fighter, outboxed twice by a cruiser.

Hes the new Bruno, nothing else.

Fighters like Tyson, Bowe, Lewis, Holyfield, Foreman, Ike, Tua, Mercer would destroy him within 6/7 rounds.

His IQ ring is low, his chin shaky, his style is predictable, and hes easy to hit.

His heart, his power wouldnt be enough against Prime Tyson and the best fighters of the 90s.

 

No fancy Joshua to do a number on him

 

Be dangerous for couple of rounds lol

 

Bruno also KO's him. Much better jab, sharper right hand.

 

Very likely.

 

<<looks at poster, considers the source. Yup.

 

But...Bruno survived in the same time and became WBC champion? I mean, maybe I don't understand what is meant by ''survive'' because it's not likely supposed to be literal, but, becoming champion requires survival, to an extent. Would you agree with that?

 

To me "survive" means the capacity of a fighter to compete with other fighters and beat them.

I think despite his efforts its unlikely Bodybuilder can win against fighters like prime Tyson, Holy, Lewis, Bowe, Ike, Tua and Mercer.

I imagine for example Joshua destroyed by Mercer like Morrison after 3 or 4 rounds dominated by him.

PS: Bruno never faced Holy, Mercer, Ike or Tua. He only faced Tyson twice and Lewis once and was badly torn down.

 

He wouldn't come out on top in that era but he'd be a solid contender regardless. Close to top 5 probably.

And as for the Bruno comparison that's often made, AJ is far better than Bruno was.

 

I absolutely disagree on the 90's cars and music.

30 years earlier than the 90's is where both the cars and musics at.

Boner polishing is debatable, mind.

 

I think this is a more fair analysis of Joshua. He could break spot 10 for sure, but how much higher…hard to say. I think maxing him out at spot 5 is pretty believable.

 

He’d be dangerous and one of the top 10 guys I think. Some fun fights to be seen in that era with him. Something tells me he wouldn’t be asking “You have a problem??” with Tyson or Bowe at weigh in face off’s though

 

Same old story Ray Mercer could show up and win, or lose

 

Many of these guys wouldn't fight him even if he shared an era with them.

Bowe ducked the top guys his era aside from Holyfield for example so why would you expect him to fight Joshua when he didn't fight
Lewis, Tyson, Tucker, Bruno, etc, etc, etc

 

Yep.
