    What do you mean by 'same level'?

    end of career, or same point in career, or even in same fights, so that we can account for the same amount of their chin checking incidents.

    Obviously, yes? what else could same level mean.

    Fair point! Same level could mean same level of opposition. I agree with you! But Anthony Joshua has been stopped in the amateurs and Povetkin has never been stopped in his amateur or pro career.

    And when Joshua was the same weight as Povetkin (220 - 230 pounds), that's when he was stopped and dropped. But now that he put on extra weight, it probably provides him greater punch resistance. But I agree that Joshua might have better punch resistance now though.

    ams is very different, I'd not count it just like vitali supporters never count him getting dropped previously.
