    Who would win and why? Is AJ too big and strong?

    holy locks him up and gives him a boxing lesson. I wouldnt be suprised if he exposes a lack of gass in the championship rounds in Joshie.

    Was Evander still in his prime when he lost to Bowe and Lewis?

    Against Bowe yes until the 3rd fight where he was stopped. Against Lewis he was done. In fact when he faced Tyson people said he was done. But even when he wasn't at his peak he was still a dangerous fighter for years and years.

    Holyfield. AJ has done nothing to suggest he could beat prime ATG Holyfield. He has only steamrolled bums. Holyfield schools him badly.

    Holyfield was nearly knocked out by Bert cooper,not just stunned but fell into the ropes,so Holyfield wouldnt handle someone like Joshua who is also heavy handed but much more skilled. if you take the Holyfield who fought Lewis it is then a much better fight but unlike the other big Heavies ,Joshua can fight on the inside much better and control the outside with better at managing distance ( Bowe was a very stationary guy ).

    Holyfield would be out matched physically. Joshua is just coming into his game and really showing how dangerous he can be,he throws every punch in the book and is fast countering when his opponents miss. Joshua would out muscle Holyfield and eventually k.o him. He has struggled won and off his entire career with guys Joshua would beat to make me think he wins here no matter how many fights he has its only more to look at why he would lose .

    If Bowe can beat him twice Joshua who has more speed /power and skill will beat him too, no matter if you think joshua hasnt showed anything yet....that would be fantasy land hes showed plenty if you know what skills look like.

    Maybe you should only talk about things you know which clearly isn't boxing. Holyfield was undefeated and around 29 for his first fight with Bowe. If you think that was past his prime then clearly you don't know what you are talking about.

    Would you say a prime Holyfield would have knocked out Walujew?

    Somehow this modern fighters looks more skilful in HD 1060 pixels flat screen jumbotron TV.
    Holyfield belongs to analog vcr fuzzy video tapes fighter, looks slow and boring.

    Still Holyfield takes his soul and beat him up for 12 rounds.
