    AJ hasn't beaten anyone yet. The hype is strong with this one.

    And before you say, Parker is a hype job also, remember this...

    The supporters of Parker understand his weaknesses.... AJ apparently has none.

    So to answer the OP, Holyfield schools him.

    Evander Holyfield stops Joshua on his feet in 8 rounds.

    Holyfield is to complete of a fighter for Joshua.

    Right.

    Add to this that older past prime Holy went 24 rounds with prime Lennox Lewis (who is about as big as AJ, and hits as hard as AJ, too) and never was knocked down - and their 2nd fight was very close. Holy is too iron chinned and too skilled to be tough opponent for any HW in history

    Seriously?
    AJ shouldnt be mentioned in the same breath as Evan at this stage,and if the time comes that he should then he will have done well.

    Holyfield would break AJ down and I have zero doubts in my mind about this
