    Bowe was a far better inside fighter and hadmore confidence in his hooks, that would be the difference in this fight, AJ is too scared of getting hit, he`s gun shy.

    It'd be an exact replay of what Bowe did to Jorge Luis Gonzalez.

    A one sided slaughter.

    Not good for Joshua. To bring Bowe down you need to really press him fiercely and need to have resolve cos he's not going down without a fight. Joshua lacks both of those characteristics post-Ruiz 1. Bowe would break him mentally first, then once Joshua's resolve is gone, Bowe would break him physically.

    Bowe at his best batters him imo.
    Not a good fight really for AJ.

    Bowe wouldn't of fought Joshua in my opinion, Bowe avoided all the notable punchers of the 90s.

    Whilst I do think Bowe would beat Joshua H2H, realistically I don't think the fight would actually take place.

    Peak Bowe (Evander Holyfield 1) would win, 1996 Bowe would lose to peak AJ.

    Joshua wouldn't be notable in the 90s.

    No, even 96 Bowe wins.

    Even when Bowe was at his worst in the Golota fights, Golota still had to withstand bombs. Prime Golota had a solid chin. AJ's glass jaw would never withstand the heat Golota took.

    It’s about prime Joshua not current Joshua. He weren’t gun shy until Ruiz Koed him.
