    I might favour Aj, not sure? I could see it as 50-50 and a tough fight to call for sure

    If Audley is on like Williams 2? He would chin Aj early

    I honestly dont think he gets out of the domestic scene. He'd be similar level to Frazer Clarke. On the world scene he's comparable to Tony Yoka.

    Fraudley would be getting laid out cold by journeymen and fringe contenders just like this glass jawed joke did when he was around

    About as well as Martin.

    I don't think it is fair to Joshua to say they're equals. AJ's a better fighter and a meaner man.

    Martin was a bit better than Audley imo. Martin would KO someone like David Price.

    The AJ hate and disrespect is ridiculous

    AH wasn't fit to lace AJ's boots. AJ sparks him out cold in a round. The Wlad, Usyk, Povetkin, Dubois, J-Park, Fat Andy, Whyte, and Takam who AJ fought would all spark him out cold or KO him and at least 1 or 2 out of Martin, Helenius, and Breazeale would shatter his glass too

    The fact AH has to constantly remind us of his win over "The Dutch Sonny Liston" Richel Hersisia in every interview for decades tells you everything you need to know

    Let's be honest Harrison wouldn't of even got past the green version of Whyte that Joshua fought. He also wouldn't of beaten Wlad, Takam, Ruiz, Parker, Povetkin, etc.

    Harrison couldn't even prove he was better than British level fighters he went 1-1 with Sprott, 1-1 vs a past it Williams, 0-1 vs Rogan.

    Lost to Williams, Rogan, Dominick Guinn, and was KO'd or TKO'd by Sprott, Haye, Price, and Bum Dosser all within 3 rounds

    Every world level or fringe world level opponent AJ beat or lost to would either spark AH out cold or stop him with an outside chance of him lasting the distance against one of them

    Similar to Tony Yoka, the only difference is that Harrison won the gold medal in a fair way.

    Anyone with decent power and decent skills ices him and there are a lot of power punchers in the HW division right now.

    Fury and Wilder fanboys are delusional, what can I say.

    I wouldn't say AH deserved his gold medal either. He was lucky to even make it through to the medal stages too after winning on a ridiculous amateur stoppage in his opening bout in the games.

    AH was losing on points with little over a minute left to go and he landed a big backhand as his opponent was out of position and whilst it was a good shot and his opponent was wobbled and hurt by it he didn't go down and hadn't been hurt or received any standing counts prior to that so it was very harsh

    AJ should've lost his opening bout in the 2012 Olympics to Savon but he did win silver in the world championships losing by a single point to Majidov in his backyard
