    I’d say the revamped Joshua that fought Usyk when he was in shape, hungry and zoned in would win. The younger anthony who managed to get off the deck against 41 year old two year layoff Wlad… toss up. Could go either way. Would be exciting though.

    THIS washed joshua who just fought Saturday… gets the Jorge Louis Gonzalez treatment.

    Not a good match up for AJ, but his power may bail him out. 50/50 for me.

    Witherspoon winning by such a large margin I didn't expect.

    Really good matchup.

    Spoon was too technical for Joshua and would get the stoppage around 8/9. Joshua can win of course, but 7 out of 10 he loses.

    I don't like Joshua but he wins this, I know nostalgics can't help but choose Witherspoon...

    No he doesn't, Witherspoon would pressure him with a jab and block everything aj has with active guard before blast right hands all night joshua is getting laid out sooner or later. He cannot do anything but hope to land a KO punch and Witherspoon had a good chin. Joshua is out of luck here, Witherspoon deals with him like Bruno

    Goes about as well for AJ as his first fight against Ruiz.

    As I said years ago. Spoon puts AJ to sleep early. No count needed just oxygen and medical staff. Not pretty
