Prime Povetkin would be 50/50 with AJ and the best modern sized heavy Marciano faced.
You think he is a great fighter?I 'd call him a good one.
I favour Joshua around 60/40 , but Mercer has the chin to make this a toughie,imo.
He beats Tua, Frazier,Marciano,Foreman.The others are 50/50.
Except for the heart comment I agree with this.
He hit as hard as any light heavy ever has imo .
For me he was an average contender in a poor era.
Tua by early stoppage ,this thread seems to have been covered pretty exhaustively. To be honest I see no case whatsoever for Galento who was...
I think it's likely some of them would have.
Yes and if the thread was entitled ,"The Most Devasting /Emphatic Victory ,"I would pick the Hearns defeat too . Perhaps its a matter of...
I think he would too,Firpo had no defence was upright and crude with only average speed rather a later day Breazeale imo.
I think both beat him.
He would give AJ all he could handle,Whyte too, beat Parker,and maybe Ruiz.
Seems about right.
That's my opinion, though expressed more articulately then I managed,
