    He may win a few fights but a rocky Balboa he'll never be.

    Ike would be a nightmare for AJ, so I'd say he surpasses the level 5 and bumps into the wall of level 6.

    AJ destroys all of them.

    But I wouldn't be surprised if Peter derailed him.

    I'm not sure Lennox would get to Lennox.

    AJ "could" make it to Lewis (hell he might even beat Lewis if he got lucky) but it's my belief that one or more of those guys tests his chin and heart and finds it lacking. Tommy Morrison at level 1 could do it, I think he is vastly underrated in these parts.

    Ibeabuchi is all wrong for Joshua.

    There's a realistic chance of Joshua falling at any of these levels. But little-to-no chance he gets past Level 5.

    I'd say he could win the first 4 fights but they are all big punchers who could take him out aswell.

    So I wouldn't be overly confident of Joshua beating the first 4 names.

    But he certainly doesn't get past a prime Tim Witherspoon or any fighter past that point.

    OP has a pretty clear fixation on his hatred of Joshua. He has zero interest about how AJ matches up stylistically. It’s less “how would these fights go?” and more about setting up a scenario where people end up laughing at his chances. What a sad and pathetic man.

    Yeah I don't understand the hate for Joshua TBH.

    I'm not a fan of him or his personality in all honestly.

    But he's an Olympic gold medalist and won 9 title fights that's a very good career any way you look at it.

    And most Heavyweights in history would have trouble getting past this gauntlet of fighters.
