    Yep, Holyfield beats AJ 9 out of 10 times.
    Bowe too.

    Bowe that put his belt in the bin not to fight Lewis.
    AJ & Bowe is a good fight when both are @ there best 50/50
    Holyfield all wrong for AJ short fighters he has problems with.

    Absolutely.
    How could we have that left wing buffoon Corbyn running the country.

    Benefits should be withdrawn after 6 months if people are leeching off of hard working tax payers.
    Anyone can find work if they really want to.

    He wouldn`t have lost Rahman either, Ruuiz would have destroyed Rahman easily, no comparison.

    Who had Ruiz legit beat before he knocked out aj? Let’s not act like Ruiz has some great resume Parker and aj are best opponents he’s been in with apart from them his resume is trash.

    How anyone can watch the Ruiz fight and not think Holyfield will not murder aj is beyond me the combination punching and granite chin.

    Bowe in his prime his punch selection his timing his all round ability no way aj wins.

    Do you see why people might find it a bit annoying though? It's silly theoretical threads most days.

    The bodybuilder Joshua hasn't got the punch resistance to take on those 2 legends. Watch Ruiz gobble him up in the rematch.

    Yeah that's a different situation.

    Would Rahman KO AJ? Maybe.
    Would Ruiz KO Lewis? Not a Chance.

    Holyfield would break AJ down and stop him

    Bowe and AJ would be a war, and AJ would come out on top over 12 rounds on the scorecards

    Ruiz would have ended up like Lionel Butler.

    Bowe and Holyfield would take Joshua's lunch money every day. He would go hungry...every day. He would bring the lunch money to them rather than make them ask for it. Or....they would beat his ass in humiliating fashion and take it.
