Anthony Joshua In 1900?

I don't think he would be 245 pounds. He would weigh less, and his training would not be as good as what he received today so his skills would be less refined.

With what I think are minor stamina issues and some chin issues...these problems are not getting better for Johsua in 1905. Those long fights outdoors or in non-air-conditioned stuffy arenas combine with this lighter ounce gloves would exacerbate his problems.

On the other hand the talent in 1905 was in transition and not as good as it is today.

The myth " A Herculean giant who dominates the division is suddenly KO'd by or gassed in round 15 vs. Joe average contender. It must have been a fixed fight! "

 

You said 1905, so why list inactive fighter's? Pick the fighters active in 1905.

Watch the first 50 seconds of this clip. If modern day AJ was transplanted back to 1905, that's how the bodies would hit the canvas.

 

He would get Dempsey/Baer giant treatment.
And he would also taste fabulous and famous Johnson uppercut.

 

He wouldn't weigh 245 if he was raised in the late 19th century so it doesn't matter

 

Um, Sharkey was retied by 1905. So was Corbett. We are talking about 1905. You did not mention Fitz who was a 40+ year old fighter, and nor Ruhlin who was past his best. so no backpeadling. Jeffires didn't fight from 1905-1909, so he's out of this question too.

You agenda first off is wrong based on the title of your thread and who you listed.

If you want to talk about active fighter in 1905 who were in their prime, that would be Joshua vs Hart, Johnson, Langford, O'brien etc...

 

So I made you alter it to 1900 You are a sad case.

 

Well if it's 1900, then AJ s meeting the infamous J J Jeffries. Interesting bout, that was the year he faced Corbett the first time I belive?
Oh I've got to be honest here and say that Jeff's getting battered, really smashed up imo.
AJs not messing around, he wants him out fast, doesn't want to be still there 20 odd bloody rounds later with big Jeff s sweaty head in his chest.
So Joshua pulls out everything from his bag and smashes Jeff s face in to a bloody mess.
I know he was a tough old boot but he's only human.
AJ batters him in to the ropes mercilessly, by the sixth round I'm saying Jeff decides to drop, he's had enough.
Some may not agree, some have Jeff has some kind of invincible iron man but he's meeting someone here who's capable of doing damage.

 

That's what he wanted in the first place Aka his agenda! He just had the dates wrong because he's stupid and listed retired fighters.

Judging on how Joshua has defensive issues and was hurting vs an old Poverktin, and Ko by Ruiz, Jeffries would KO him. He would not be as heavy or as skilled in 1900.

 

Same result.
