    "I’m surprised so many are convinced AJ beats Zhang and Hrgovic as well…"

    Maybe because he's far more proven as a pro, and already beat Zhang in the Olympics.

    "AJ has a weak chin, terrible recuperative powers, poor stamina and a questionable heart under fire. If he trades with them he’ll crack first imo, and I can’t see him outboxing them for 12."

    AJ has a very good chin, decent stamina and excellent heart. If he didn't have any of those attributes he wouldn't have got as far as he has today.

    "Usyk had AJ all over the shop and he’s a total light hitter. And AJ hasn’t faced a serious hitter in a while. Last 5 fights have all been totally without danger power wise."

    Usyk would have lots of fighters including Fury all over the shop with his light hits. In Joshua's last five fights he fought big hitting Helenius (last minute replacement for big hitting Whyte).

    I see the Corey Sanders in him, spot on comparison. He throws it the same way.

    We are getting a bit carried away because Zhang slept JJ who is overrated.

    AJ has a better body of work. Zhang has power but he’s unproven against the sort of guy AJ has been in the ring with.

    Zhang by a country mile. Joshua has clubbing power which stops you in your tracks via accumulative damage. Think of a rock and water dripping over it over time it will start to erode away. Big Bang on the other hand only has to catch you once with his nuclear left hand and it's all over.
