    Earnie may catch the squishy chinned brit unlikely and Chuvalo may outlast his man till he gasses possible but the rest are unfortunately overmatched in one way or another.

    The juicer beats the 60-70s H2H
    C team.

    Too soon for me to decide just yet considering how green Joshua still is. I need to see Joshua get more fights against different styles.

    Patterson knocks AJ out in a blitz of fantastic speed and punching. Patterson might hit the canvas once tho.

    Quarry is a 50/50 fight.

    Shavers has a good puncher's chance but I pick AJ to beat him most of the time.

    Norton gets overwhelmed. Stopped within 5.

    Bonavena gets outboxed. Would look like Parker vs AJ. AJ might hit the canvas once.

    Chuvalo is a tricky one. AJ might be able to stop Chuvalo in time but if he doesnt and we see those 5/6/7th rounds, AJ might gas and get stopped. Dunno about this one. Smart money goes to AJ

    I could see this happening, but only if Patterson doesn't hit the canvas, he'd have to weave under AJs arms then jump into his hooks. If AJ hurt Patterson, and if his power shots landed he would, then it would be brutal. We all know Patterson had bags of heart but heart can get ugly. A true 50/50

    Agreed, tho I'd slightly favour AJ

    Agreed. Who ever lands first type fight, and with AJs speed and size I'd pick him to land first

    Again I'd agree, black Hercules wouldn't have enough here

    I think this one is a bit more interesting, I don't think AJ gets dropped. I think it would resemble the Whyte fight where AJ but with the stoppage being standing

    Once again I agree, I think AJs distance management keeps him in this one, even against Parker and Klitschko after he was hurt and tired he managed to control the range by grappling and out strengthing them or using his colossal reach and just holding them back, Chuvalo is a live dog but I favour AJ by UD

    Agreed.

    Lots of highlight reel ko's here.

    Oscar and Chuvalo might go the distance though. But take a terrible beating in one sided contests. But I don't see Joshua having to dig too deep to come out with his arm raised against this crop of heavies.

    I'll buy into AJ after he's proven himself in adversity...i.e.,...someone other than an old and finished Wlad. He hasn't proven **** yet....neither has Wilder. Fury has displayed more intangibles....heart, chin and "get up and win" than either one of them.

    I’d make him a heavy favourite over all of them. I also see him beating Chuvalo to a bloody pulp giving the referee no option but to stop the fight with Chuvalo on his feet

    I favor him over all of them, Shavers has a really good punchers chance.

    Not sure he would beat Oscar who is much better then Povetkin
    Patterson’s chin wouldn’t hold
    Shavers would look like the Holmes fight with AJ not having a good second part of the fight
    Chuvalo gets out pointed
    Quarry if he can last past the sixth has a chance...big if though not sure he makes it
    Just my humble opinion

    Same Division. Boxers Joshua’s size weren’t uncommon in those days.

    But they weren't as skilled as the modern day giants.
