    AJ is "a new breed of heavyweight" and "not a 12-round fighter" because he's "heavy" and it is "hard work".

    Fortunately, Lewis, Tyson, Spoon, and even Bonecrusher, can all accommodate Joshua and reduce his burdensome load, by knocking him out at various points inside the 12-round distance.

    Beats Witherspoon and Smith loses to Lewis and Tyson. As always people here underestimate Joshua

    Yes, they would give him sweet dreams so that he can hang up his heavy load at least for a while. What a thoughtful move that would've been from these four.

    You’d probably favour Pacquiao over AJ

    No way he beats Tyson and Lewis.
    He can beat Smith and Witherspoon if he stays away from their bombs.

    Prime AJ should be heavily favored over Smith.

    Tim was hot and cold. At his absolute best he could beat anyone, but id probably favor AJ more often than not.

    I dont think he has much for LL or Mike, but I suppose he has a slim chance of KOing Lewis as he was a better fighter than Rahman and McCall.

    Loses all 4
    Does another speech in the ring after Tyson, I need SKILL, you haven’t got SIZE, how did you beat me? Attempts to throw Tyson’s belts out of the ring and instead of a calming remark and an arm round the shoulder, gets knocked out again for his troubles.

    I’d pick him to beat Bonecrusher and a very out of shape Witherspoon. He doesn’t beat Tyson, Lewis or spoon when he’s in top form
