    This is for all guys with no clue of boxing who said that "AJ would Win against a Prime Ali or Tyson"

    These former heavyweights would all win against Joshua:

    In their Prime:
    Sonny Liston
    George Foreman
    Riddi*k Bowe
    Lennox Lewis
    Vitali Klitschko
    Muhammad Ali
    Mike Tyson
    Cleveland Williams
    Joe Frazier
    Evander Holyfield
    Joe Louis
    Max Baer
    David Tua
    Ike Ibeabuchi
    Larry Holmes
    Jack Dempsey
    Rocky Marciano
    Michael Dokes
    Buster Douglas
    Tony Tucker
    Frank Bruno
    Hasim Rahman
    Ezzard Charles
    Donovan Ruddock
    Tommy Morrison
    James "Bonecrusher" Smith

    +
    Oliver McCall
    Samuel Peter
    Shannon Briggs
    Corrie Sanders
    David Haye
    Prime Wladimir Klitschko

    and even more. Oldtimers have more guts , are tougher , better Boxers.

    Aj chin just proved any hw with a decent chin himself, good power and the skills to at least land their own shots go in with a chance which is 100% more than I ever expected.

    Aj chin let him down terribly, no idea how I misinterpreted his chin, have to admit I was competent wrong about Aj.

    Still expect him to beat Ruiz in a safety first rematch, but no guarantee now

    Lol yeah because AJ lost to a 260 pound fighter in Andy Ruiz that means he would lose to a 170 to 190 pound fighter like Rocky Marciano, Jack Dempsey, or Ezzard Charles. AJ would smash them. So many casual boxing fans like you on this site. People who can't understand there are weight classes for a reason. A;sp Joshua is unskilled for modern sized and modern skilled heavyweights. He is stil fare more skilled than any fighter who fought doing the 20's 30's 40's or even 50's

    So long story short - whoever has the guts to take it to AJ, and is able to take a few punches, will win.

    At this point, I have to agree.

    Hell maybe Dempsey would lose but he would rush to Joshua , try to knock him out and he would not STOP if he gets hit
    would not lost his confidence and keep going not like the other cowards. Ruiz was the First Boxer who just give a ****
    but this was a Normal thing back then.

    If Povetkin and Wlad were 7 years younger when they fought Joshua they would have won.

    One thing is for certain Vitali Klitschko would wreck Anthony Joshua.

    The funniest part is, Ruiz Jr isn't really bigger than most of those guys without all that fat. :qmeparto:

    especially Tyson and Foreman.

    I also add Corrie Sanders , Samuel Peter , Shannon Briggs and David Haye to the list.

    Yes but Ruiz wouldn’t be half the fighter he is without all the fat.

    I strongly disagree. He'd be much sharper, faster and would gain more leverage for his punches, with being able to channel from his waists.

    Being fat never was and never will be an advantage in boxing.
