    Despite the Dubois debacle, still pick AJ by KO

    Picture the Povetkin fight, except Povetkin has a much worse chin and none of boxing instincts you get from having boxed since you were a kid.

    Morrison didn`t have a good chin and wasn`t very skilled at all.

    No offense, but that’s exactly what I implied in the post.

    I wouldn't rule Tommy out. He had lots of power and heart, but I'd definitely favor Joshua.

    It would be competitive. Tonight, AJ looked terrible, but if both were at their best, I'd put my money on AJ, though not with much confidence.

    I would pick AJ but Tommy did possess the pick to the lock. I will say that AJ looked particularly awful tonight.

    I'd favour Joshua but Morrison certainly has the power in his left hook to stop Joshua.

    Ruiz, Whyte, Povetkin, all hurt Joshua badly with left hooks. Ruiz is not a big puncher and basically had Joshua on bambi legs for the rest of the fight after one counter left hook.

    Tommy would do Ruddock on him, I pick Tommy but it's tough fight to pick winners.

    I still pick Joshua regardless of the loss to Dubois...
