    I think Joshua would be vulnerable to a quick, smaller HW who gets in and out
    without taking damage, then goes for the kill 8th or 9th round when Joshua is
    gassed out. IDK if Dempsey fits the bill here; he's so determined and ferocious that
    he might be KO'd early.

    Honestly I think Roy Jones is the one to beat Joshua. Very quick feet and hands. But his
    chin is VERY suspect. Or Jimmy Young. Someone out of the box who wouldn't try to
    stand and trade with the muscle guy.

    I don't think Joshua had a glass chin FFS he took a massive right hand from Wlad and
    got up. His issues are 1) he gasses out late and 2) basically an athlete not a pure boxer.
    So he can be out hustled and out boxed.

    good comparison.. I just don't see how we can do it. I can see more Holmes vs. Joshua, but not Dempsey or Tunney.

    I know you're right, he would get up off the canvas..... when his head bounces off it.

    I haven't talked about you, why are you talking about me?
    Still dealing with obsession issues?

    Saying "I'm better at so and so" is easy. It's just words.
    The fact that you've come up with excuses for over a year on why you can't set your phone down, hit record, and upload a clip, in a time where uploading video footage is as easy as making cereal, shows how big of a puss you are. Does it take over 40 years to grow a backbone?

    Not so fast! I haven’t read all the posts but have you produced any carefully controlled scientific experiments demonstrating that fighters benefit from more accurate injury diagnoses??

    I don't think we are talking about the same Joe Joyce here?

    Anthony Joshua would beat Jack Dempsey...if Dempsey tied his hands behind his back.

    See I can do it too.
