    Absolutely. Klitschko almost beat him and Klitschko is past his best, I have a couple of other guys as more likely to beat Joshua than Klitschko and after seeing that fight I don't change my opinion. Joshua will have learned from that fight, no doubt - but I'm not going to change my thoughts on how beatable he is (or isn't) until I see him fight again after that experience.

    AJ is very beatable. Wlad could have beat if was not so damn scared to get hit. I'm telling you I think Ortiz would KO AJ within 5 rounds. Look what Ortiz did to Jennings . Wlad could barley land a punch on Jennings and Ortiz kicked his ass. And I never seen anyone beat Tony Thompson as easy as he did. Ortiz also has a better chin than AJ. Watch what I say AJ will drop that WBA belt to avoid Ortiz. Wilder vs. Joshua is 50 50. Both have power and no chin. AJ is fun to watch tho I will give him that.

    Well since he came within a butt whisker of being brutally KO'd against Wlad, uh.... yeah.

    Of course he can be beaten. Wlad nearly did already.

    That being said I'm impressed with him having started boxing so late in life. He can only get better unless in his youth he let's the fame go to his head. Or falls in love with his power.

    Or think
    Wlad had me hurt and I came back strong and finished him. He went to the well and found water. Go to the well too many times sooner or later it'll be dry.
    He passed his gut check and it's nice to know that you can dig deep when needed. But don't rely on that always being the case.

    Vlad might beat him in the rematch. Did you see Joshua on the canvas? Did you see Joshua drunk? The rematch will be a 50/50 fight. Vlad should have finished Joshua off while he had Joshua drunk for about 3.5 rounds...........

    There isn't a fighter on the planet that can't be beaten. Some are better than others but all beatable.

    AJ was badly shaken even among amateurs. He has flaws and will be beaten sooner or later. He got lucky against Wladimir. Well behind on points and a few rounds he was ready to be stopped. It was a moment of weakness. He was about to get stopped for more that 10 minutes. It will happen again.

    AJ will capitalize on the fact that we are in transitional period. The old king has slowed down and the new blood is coming.

    Yes, very much so. I never rated him very highly, thinking him essentially the Frank Bruno of this generation. After the Klitscko fight, to give him his due, he has showed he has more than Bruno had - but is still basically just a big, athletic guy with average boxing skills, poor defence and very shaky stamina. His last fight was a good one - but he was fighting a 41-year-old who is at least 5-6 years past his prime. This ATG nonsense just makes you look silly.

    He's already been hurt and come close to losing, so that's a bit of a silly question really.

    Outside of fury at th moment nobody beats him imo. Not because if how good Joshua is but gow poor the rest are.

    Lets be honest the heavyweight division although slightly better is still extremely shallow in genuine talent. Arguably the weakest division

    This. No fighter is unbeatable, especially Joshua. One punch is all it takes.
