    Everyone hits like a mule. The question is whether or not the power can be effectively delivered and as Price stepped up in class that question was answered.

    Joshua is more proven than price and has destroyed 3 top ten opponents now, but all are fringe top ten. Would he destroy a Pulev or an Ortiz or would his ko ratio start taking a hit. We just don't know.

    I wouldn't say Hide is more proven tbh. He presents a threat if he lands first and he is more proven than the opposition Joshua has faced so far but Joshua would be a heavy favourite.

    I think it would be an accumulation of glancing blows rather than a highlight reel ko.

    Hide could have been the best in the world, that still doesn't stop him being glass chinned. He had the power to cause an upset but I doubt he makes it past the 3rd round. Bowe didn't land his best shots because Hide was going to the canvas to avoid them.

    I didn't expect Brezeale to make it past the third neither.

    I think we need to see a bit more of Joshua. I think someone wins via KO/TKO inside 8 rounds.

    The whiff of Bowe's punches had Hide stumbling around on the canvas like a drunk. A solid right hand or even a hard jab will put him down for the count.
