    If We had Bowe in the place of Wilder ..and AJ hoped to meet him to unify the belts ,the same Bowe that just beat Holy field ..what s the result .
    Both undefeated. 12 round ?

    Bowe is a lot more fluid and looks the better fighter but he's up against an explosive power puncher. Bowe was very easy to hit and didn't have the greatest of chins.

    Well AJ would be meeting Bowe who was soon to lose to holyfield ,he was caught a Fair bit in there ,so Joshua would have a few chances. But Bowe would still be putting him under more pressure than Parker. This could be a mauling fight with both men down at some point .I see a sudden ko from one of em ,out of the blue ,when both are tired. I'm leaning ever so slightly to Bowe scoring the ko ,but it is slightly.

    It would be a fight I'd certainly pay to see, a just think Joshua would prevail in a fire fight.

    I'd love to see this match up ,I don't think anyone could say for certainty who'd win beforehand .

    Bowe had much more credentials aj have fought absolutely nobody except a geriatric wladimir and he had to get up of the floor to win

    Bowe all day long switched on. Bowe from Holy 1 stops AJ of the Wlad fight or the best AJ we've seen so far

    Bowe was steered clear of big punchers. So I give AJ a good punchers chance. But as of now he looks a little too stiff to handle the more fluid and offensively varied Bowe.

    Bowe is a much more fluid, skilled fighter. And, he has a mean streak that is missing in Joshua. The in shape Bowe from Holyfield I (among other fights) would go to war, finish what Wlad started, and stop Joshua mid rounds.

    Can't really see a case for AJ?

    Bowe has a better jab, better counter punching, better stamina and work rate, better combination punching, better balance, more fluid, heart of a lion and a more natural fighter...

    Joshua can't keep the pace with Bowe and is outgunned on the outside and inside.
    If he trades with Bowe, even if he hurts Bowe, Bowe has great recuperative power and Joshua would gas like he did vs Wlad...

    Bowe mid rounds stoppage

    Bowe's much the more talented fighter.
    He's also got a good inside game, it's just a question of how many of Joshua's power shots he could take, because let's be honest he could be hit.
    I'm assuming we're talking the best Bowe could be so overall I'd go with Bowe.
    If Joshua was fighting cautious like he did with Parker, i think Bowe would have the smarts to avoid the jab and make this a bit of a fire fight and have success on the inside, providing the referee would let him work in there.
    Bowe by UD or late stoppage for me, but it's competitive.

    Joshua has that streak imo, more so than Bowe, he's just not as skilled as Big Daddy

    I disagree. Joshua seems like a pretty nice fellow. Sure, Anthony has knocked out a number of fighters. But, it was generally because he was the bigger, more powerful man. And, Joshua's competition (while better than Wilder's) is nothing special. But, Bowe had a legitimate mean streak. He wanted to hurt people. That can't be taught. And, quite frankly, I just don't see it in AJ.

    I do agree that Bowe is far more skilled and fluid. Especially on the inside. It would spell doom for Joshua.
