    He's the one who taught Joe Joyce(the real Rio gold medalist) how to box. :sisi1

    .
    yes they both were
    tyson was beaten by henry tillman
    aaron pryor beat tommy hearns
    joe calzaghe stopped chris byrd
    riddick bowe was beat i think by ko by jorge gonzalez
    joshua was knocked down twice in 2010 /11 by dillon whyte and lost every round.

    as pros except for 15 secs joshua knocked the sjit out of white
    bowe **** down gonzales neck
    tillman ran to his mum for help
    tommy hearns went on to be an ATG
    joe calzaghe wouyld never have stopped any heavy.

    imo if wilder and joshua fought nistor and romanov now they would both win by ko.

    This will go full circle and someone not that large from ams will beat Joshua,Wilder and so on.

    Joyce probably deserved to win the final, but by the same token Hrgovic would have probably won the whole thing under accurate judging.

    Well, historically, chances are good that one or both of them will lose to someone smaller. But they are equally good that the smaller person will not have as good an overall pro career as them (Wlad Brewster, Vitali Byrd, Lewis Rahman, Holmes Spinks, Ali Frazier)

    Usyk and Gassiev will be the future that has to move up.

    i have no doubt either of them will remain undefeated neither of them have stellar chins /but i am 100% sure that the joshua of today right now would beat the joshua that lost to nistor with ease and that the wilder that was decked and stopped v romanov would ko the **** out of himself today.

    Usyk. He's likely 210-213 on fight night. I think he's a top ten heavy already, he just needs to move up.

    At 6'3" tall with a 78" reach, he has the length to do it. I'd pick him over Wilder right now.
