    AJ doesn`t have many first round KO`s on his record but how many of Bowe`s former opponents could have have stopped in the first round era for era? What rating should Bowe`s opposition get out of 10 overall?

    I think it`s an interesting comparison because neither fighter has or had a lot of first round KO`s and both were/are good finishers.

    He probably would have. He hits harder than Bowe and is more proven. Most of Bowes opposition weren't good except Holyfield, Larry Donald and Herbie Hide, gatekeeper Bert Cooper and possibly undefeated Jorge Luis Gonzalez as well but Bowe absolutely destroyed him physically and mentally, that man was never the same again. Holyfield I'd favor over Joshua but Joshua beats everyone else easily

    1v1 Bowe would beat Aj though. Styles make fights

    I think no one.
    A.J is more slow finisher than even old 38 y.o Klit version vs younger fighters.
    Look: Pulev was undefeated and 33 y.o, weighted not less than Wlad. Wlad being 38 y.o. dispatches him in 5 rounds.
    Pulev is 39 y.o, not undefeated, A.J dispatched him in 9 rounds.

    A.J is good boxer but not fast finisher.
    He also didn't finished Takam faster than 35 y.o 222-225 lbs Povetkin did vs then younger Takam. Both these Takam's fights ended in 10 th round.

    On the right night Joshua could have knocked out Bowe.
    Bowe did not always show up in the best shape and blew up between fights.
    Also, he ducked Lewis so, screw Bowe.

    I'm disappointed Surrix didn't say "AJ bodybuilder" in his meandering diatribe.

    He's losing his touch. :lol:

    COULD Joshua KO many of Bowes opponents in first round hell yeah, a fit strong with full gas tank behemoth like AJ, having a opportunity to make full contact with your unprotected mandible COULD well separate any boxer from their consciousness.

    However WOULD he that is another question, as firstly opportunity unlikely to present itself and secondly it not AJs natural style in early rounds.
