    Seeing as Wallin already outlanded AJ's 8th best win Breazeale 232-91 (albeit a 21 months inactive version coming off a KO1 loss to Wilder) over 12 rounds in America, how many more of AJ's top wins would he have probably beaten?

    He’d beat a couple, but I doubt he can replicate what AJ did, he’s not that good

    If by wouldn't replicate you mean he wouldn't stop most or possibly any of them (even with a favourable referee) I agree but I can't see him losing to any version of Andy Ruiz and I think he would beat most of them.

    He strikes me of being of the level where he wins some and loses some of those fights. Try to diminish AJ's accomplishments all you like but he's still beaten formidable opposition that the rest of the division would've had a lot more struggle with.

    Where is the option for none?

    Takam out works for a points win

    Pulev beats him on points in 12 round shut out.

    All the the rest KO or stop Wallin. Last time AJ fought someone that Wallin could beat is Breazeale.

    I picked the same, but I can see him maybe losing to Parker (if Joe shows up that is) and Whyte has a decent chance of fluking a KO. Shot Pulev, a perpetually overrated Takam and fat Ruiz don't stand much of a chance if Wallin boxes optimally.

    I wouldn’t back him to win any of those fights.

    Probably a lot of valiant losses, maybe 1 or 2 wins.

    Joshua wouldn't struggle with Sokolowski, the way Wallin did.

    He already fought Brezeale, who Joshua went through like a knife through butter. Wallin was poor.

    Ruiz is the most limited notable heavyweight out there: slowest feet, shortest, stubbiest arms, least disciplined, relatively light puncher, never fought a southpaw.
