    I don't like Joshua much but the fact is Joshua would be Vitali’s best win of his career.

    Vitali was basically having to fight Chisora with one arm I can't remember exactly how the fight went but I remember Chisora having success and winning atleast 4 rounds.

    I don't think that version of Vitali would beat Joshua IMO.

    Prime Chisora would beat aj. There's a reason that fight was never made

    Haye is agile, faster, better counter puncher. Chisora would give him a tough fight, joshua admitted it

    Vitali beats the snot out of AJ. I don't think it would be competitive at all.

    Power is the last thing that goes. Even old Wlad hit harder than Vitali. And AJ managed to get up after a flush shot, taking much more punishment earlier and later in the fight. Ruiz, Povetkin and Dubois hit harder than Vitali.

    Haye is also a worse Heavyweight than AJ.

    Markus you just don't like AJ so you are a bit over critical let's be real AJ would be favoured over Chisora any day of week.

    Whyte flattened Chisora with a single left hook.

    And Haye demolished him.

    One is a fringe contender the other was a world champion with multiple title defences.

    I thinking Vitali in a very competitive points fight but I suck at predicting fantasy matches.

    To be fair, there is no way to objectively say if you suck or not. It can't be disproven either way. It's just your opinion just like everybody else's and holds the same weight.

    Whyte went life and death with Chisora twice. Haye outsmarted him and has every advantage over aj apart from size.

    joshuas best wins are old men. Chisora is a bad matchup. Tough, gritty, powerful. Joshua admitted he struggled with the pressure in sparring. Just like he admitted Dubois knocked him out. Joshua was a favorite there and look what happened. Any version of Vitali stops aj

    His best wins aren't old men though ?

    He beat Parker, Whyte, who were both in their 20s and both have a 4-0 record against Chisora.

    So I don't see how that logic works.

    I don't see a 40+ year old one armed Vitali stopping Joshua or beating him.

    Not Ruiz, no way. Vitali was huge and dropped Donald who is more durable than aj. Donald went 12 with Bowe and fought a much younger Povetkin as a 41 year old and was never wobbled
