    True, people seemed to forget Wlad hits like a fricken truck too. Sure he usually spoils a lot but when he does unload he power is immense. He definitely hits harder than Joshua in my opinion. Joshua has that thudding power and he's a better finisher but for sheer one shot power Wlad is better.

    I am not delusional for thinking Whytes left hook is stronger than wlads left hook.

    Nor am I delusional that Wilders power is more destructive than Wlad

    Whyte was injured leading into the AJ fight... but you seem to think AJ would survive Whytes left hook today when he is stronger and injuru free. Time will tell..
    lets see about that.

    Agree to disagree. 2018 Whyte and Wilder videos say it all

    Does AJ have the arsenal to put Lewis away? Absolutely.

    Can Lewis outbox AJ and make him walk onto lethal shots? Absolutely.

    It would be a good fight with Lewis taking him out around the halfway point.

    It's like comparing a sports car of 90s to one of today.
    They are both great for their time but today's one beats it all day long.

    Pulev wasn't one shotted though , thats a common misconception. He had already got up from a few left hooks and took a monster right hand that sent the skin rippling throughout his entire head. He was ready to go by the time the last punch hit him.

    At least one of the KD's was from a clean left hook though and not a barrage, was it not? I'm sure at least one of them was.

    I know you have quite a harsh stance of Big Wlad, so I'm intrigued to see if you agree with Aydamn above that Whyte's left hook is more powerful than Wlad's?

    Tyson Fury will/would beat Anthony Joshua.

    You seem to severely underestimate ring IQ in this sport.
    What is it that makes you think he'll drop Fury? He's less sporadic than Wilder....its much easier to see where his punches are coming from, Fury is great at seeing them. Joshua moves robotically, Fury athletically.
    Fury will be much fitter come any fight that may happen with AJ, than he was against Wilder and he'll also be in a much more serious mood, not messing around because he knows he's a level above, as he did with Wilder.

    What is it about AJ that makes you think he can overcome those disadvantages?

    I definitely do not underestimate ring IQ at all! And even though I rate AJ I appreciate and respect how much of a natural born boxer fury is and like I said think he stands the better chance and I agree if he entered a fight with AJ he will be in better shape! Just how when he fights wilder again he will be the only one who’s progressed but AJ is so different to wilder in the sense that he is actually a boxer ( all be it not as smart in the ring as fury but worlds above wilder!) and will actually train for the task in hand rather than just try to claim that body on his record that he so badly wants! ( if he gets his wish I hope they quote what he said and do him for murder!!) I didn’t say fury couldn’t beat him but I did say IMO AJ would take it! I could be wrong and if so when it actually happens I will give Tyson all the credit he deserves but I can’t see anyone, no matter how smart taking AJ without brutally knocking him out but that being said I also can’t see anyone completely ending fury after watching the devastating, life ending powerful bomb off wilder that he got up after! All that I said I would also like to be proved wrong but I till then for me AJ has every right to be classed as the A side and be backed until proven otherwise!
    To me he’s tried to correct faults and flaws put to him after every fight and the main reason I like AJ is that he’s the only one of ‘the top 3’ that admits he’s not the finished article

    Don't get me wrong mate, AJ is a nice enough guy, seemingly... But I can't see what would make someone favour him over a fit TF, personally. For me, of. Course he can beat Fury, because he has that knockout blow....and yeah of course, he's more accurate than Wilder, but, honestly, as far as I see it. If Tyson had been lean and totally fit v Wilder, there'd have been 0 knockdowns. I just think v AJ he might be in Wlad mode and take nobody as a joke. He'll respect AJ's threat deep down and believe that if he does that and just gets through the fight he'll be the favourite. And rightly so in my opinion... Surely you agree?
    If I was him, I'd know AJ was the biggest threat out there, without a doubt, but would also know, I'm a better boxer than him and, since it's Boxing, surely I'm favourite. Truthfully, if it goes 12, Fury is the the winner, I'm sure we agree on that... And yeah AJ 100% has the ability not to allow that, but can you honestly say that's more likely than the 12 round TF win?
    I can't. And I think it's harder work for AJ to work into that KO position than it was/will be for Wilder too.

    The king of 'POLITICALLY CORRECT' statements has logged on. How about you actually post something a little more creative / unique, not resembling what is always common / part of the status quo, before you start labeling others for being 'king of hot takes' or 'king of x, y or z'? You're MERELY doing your self a disservice by performing such an act!

    And I stand by my initial post! Feel free to challenge it!

    F1 and rallysport cars of the 90s had the edge in the 90s, they were toned down for safety reasons.

    Humans havent evolved since the 90s.

    HOw much thought do you put into your posts, timmy. before u make them.

    It would look like Joshua vs Martin at the mid rounds in my honest opinion.

    Lewis looked like Charles Martin ? You're insane. You clearly haven't seen Lewis vs Golota or Lewis vs Briggs or Lewis vs Ruddock or Lewis vs Tua or the first round and the first part of the second round of Lewis vs Akinwande before Akinwande started clinching for dear life

    A prime Lewis would trainrape everyone in this division :risas3:

    Lennox power is somewhere in between Joshua and Klitschko.
