    I think they’re similar. Hard to tell esp once Wlad changed his style

    Both pumped up weight lifters. Hit about the same

    AJ will let punches fly when he gets people hurt though.

    Wlad on the otherhand will wrestle them to the canvas or push them

    Wlad but not by much ,I think A.J has been up against better chins though so ? Povetkin opinion would be interesting.

    Wlad's left hand [jab or jab/hook] had loads more power than Joshua's.

    Right hand, I wouldn't like to say. Maybe closeish? Maybe even Joshua?

    Joshua has more explosive inside power and hooks I reckon. Wlad has more power in the straight right and leaping left hook. Difference is when AJ hurts someone he lands devastating flush combos but Wlad just wants to jab and land another right hand and push them to the canvas.

    It's not even close. AJ is a huge unit and he hits very hard but he's not a devastating one punch KO artist like Wlad who could put you to sleep with either hand, short punch or full extension.


    Look at the respective KDs in their fight against each other. Wlad dropped AJ like a sack of potatoes with a single devastating right hand, whereas AJ could only put a 41 y/o way past his best Wlad over with a series of shots

    It took AJ about 8 power shots in quick succession to put a 39 y/o Povetkin on his ass even though he hurt him badly with the first right hand in the sequence, whereas Wlad dropped a younger better version of Povetkin with a left hook so short that some nitwits thought it was a jab.
