    No he would not go undefeated against that lot. Not in my opinion anyway.

    Yes, he could go undefeated. He could also lose them all. I don't think k he wins a firefight with ANY of them, we'd have to see the 'boring' Ruiz or Parker AJ...BUT the AJ who lost to Usyk in the second fight is the most likely to go 5-0. I still maintain he was clearly the second best man in the ring that night, but also the second best heavy in the world...

    Shannon Briggs... If Briggs beats him, it's like Dubois. He has to jump on him, take his confidence, and finish him quickly. That said, Shannon carried his power late and could still fight and be dangerous when hurt. Interesting fight and one I'd never thought about.

    Hasim Rahman. I think AJ comfortably outboxes Rahman, who is too one dimensional to beat a defensively invested athletic oppnent like AJ. Rahman beat Lewis because Lewis didnt take him seriously and he can bang. I think AJ takes all these guys seriously.

    Bert Cooper. AJ stops Bert within half a dozen rounds. Cooper is competitive but ultimately outgunned.

    Razor Ruddock. The Ruddock from Tyson 1is a hard, hard nights work. If AJ lets Razor get into hos groove, he might end up taking a kip but Razor could be caught cold...wow, interesting fight. Prime v prime I make it 50/50, styles make fights

    Frank Bruno. I have always maintained Bruno is a better fighter than AJ. Bruno out jabs him, puts him in his shell because of the sheer power of those thudding jabs and stops him...quite quickly. This may be a lonely furrow I'm ploughing, but hey, ya know where to find me.
