    Ajagba is very mediocre.

    I'm not sure Joshua is quite done enough to lose at that level just yet.

    Joshua isn't shot. If he loses to Ajagba that just means Ajagba is better than you think

    I favor AJ to stop him. Ajagba is pretty upright and not too hard to find. I think AJ would be able to land his right hand consistently.
    The other thing is Ajagba is not overly explosive or a fast starter so I think think this would favor AJ who would have time to get his confidence up. In saying all that it's still a good fight Ajagba is still dangerous and is not without a chance. Overall though AJ is the better boxer and better puncher.

    Ajagba had to get on a bike to avoid being knocked out by Bakole. AJ doesn’t hit any less hard than Bakole and is certainly lighter on his feet.

    although I don’t know if AJ would have survived some of those rights that Bakole took from Ajagba.

    I have to favor AJ here, I don’t think he’s all that faded and think that he got really, really unlucky against Dubois.

    A lot of people overrate Ajagba on here, but not to the extent of Bakole at one point. Ajagba is a gatekeeper at best really, he just really isn't anything special.

    AJ has beaten guys like Ajagba, and Ajagba's basic style is pretty much tailor made for AJ.

    AJ mid rounds KO. I could see this fight happening though to be fair.

    50/50 at this point. Joshua in his prime showed more skills than Ajagba but I can’t get over how poor he looked against Dubois last time out

    He'd have to be pretty shot to lose to a mediocre gatekeeper.

    Ajagba really isn't that good

    Basically I think whoever lands the right hand first, though at this point I might rate Ajagba's chin a shade better than Joshua's. But what the hell do I know, I thought an improving Dubois would upset an aging Usyk.

    No way! I've never heard you mention this before

    Why do people go on like Ruiz was useless? Guy just looked like crap to the general public

    Ruiz is/was a skilled boxer

    At this stage Mario Lopez has more credibility than Markus

    Ajagba really isn't very good. If AJ can't stop him, he should retire.
