    I agree but when the hell was Bowe suppossed to fight Bruno? Tucker was way past it in the 90`s, why would Bowe have fought Tucker?

    He would have said that to them, it would been like AJ v Miller when Miller pushed AJ but Bowe might have actually hit AJ at a weigh in but might have ducke him too.

    He might could have won the WBO belt in the 90’s but that’s it.

    Bruno won the WBC titls and AJ is better than Bruno was, Foreman won the title at 45 and was far slower than AJ is at that point.

    Sorry to quote you again, but he wouldn't beat either of those guys from the 90s

    Tyson post prison would jump all over him in the first round just like tonight

    Joshua would be nervous and although Mike wasn't what he was, He would find Joshua WAY to easy to hit

    All trolling aside, no chance in hell does Aj beat any version of Tyson pre Lewis

    I stand by it. Tyson was VERY heavily into drugs and alcohol. He was getting some very good matchmaking, in that era.

    You stand by a lot when it comes to Joshua
    You seem to be a massive fan

    Anyway you have never been ignorant with me, so I will just say agree to disagree

    And right back at you. You are a quality poster. I enjoy your digital company.

    Look, I like AJ because he saved the division when Fury took his time off, and Wilder was stinking it up fighting guys like Molina and Szpilka. At the end of the day, Joshua is going to retire with wins over Kiltschko, Povetkin, Parker, Ruiz, Whyte, Martin, Brezeale, Pulev, Helenius, and Wallin--that's not bad. Are there some asterixes next to some of those names due to age or inexperience? Sure, there always is. Are there some stinky losses peppering those wins? Yup. Did he have great promotion behing him, and sometimes hometown advantage? Absolutely.

    But at the end of the day, he is going to be remembered in the top 15 heavies.

    Hey, and I congratulate Dubois. That guy has shut a LOT of people up, including me.

    Anthony Joshua in the 90s cracks into the top 10 for 1 possibly 2 years max, gets washed by somebody, becomes an exciting fringe contender for the rest of his career. Retires with 10 losses 6 of them by KO with his best win being Tommy Morrison

    This is the next century and EE and Brits dominate the HW division and the rose-tinted google wearing boxing nostalgists, paleontologists and brainwashed beta brigade who pine for the good old days when boxing was more of a regional sport need to glug down the copium by the bucketful to help them cope :lol:

    Just go watch old fights on YT instead of crying your big baba tears al over the forum
