    . He would wipe out all fighters pre 90's with ease really.

    what would Joe louis actually do to him? You guys talk about chins ,louis was floored and knocked out by guys who wouldnt even be able to get in the ring with Joshua. im using Louis assuming hes the poster boy for the elite boxer of old.

    Theres other crazy threads by good posters like Dempsey vs Joshua.....:godsdrink0nw:

    don't get me wrong mate I wasn't disagreeing with that guy, just wanted to know I think he would take a good fair share of the past fighters, don't put me in that category theme people because I don't think like that, I love joe louis as you can tell by my avatar but Anthony would most likely beat him

    You would be wrong here because todays HW top elites throw more punches and move more dont say they dont b/c guys like Fury/Izu/Joshua/Klitchko/Haye to name a few show how big and athletic they are. they even clinched WAY more back then ,yet today are labled slow clinchers...far from the truth.

    Would Joshua lose to jimmy young EVER? foreman was slow and sloppy and PROVEN poor stamina even wobbled by jabs by some and dropped by guys with 20% k.o records...lets not go there, when Joshua is much bigger and athletic with speed on his side.

    Tyson is the only guy you mentioned i would slightly favor over Joshua NOW,that will probably change SOON!

    joshua is 6'6 245/250 quick .athletic and smart and hits HARD with actual skill unlike all those other inferior giants of old. This is reality ,he would be to overwhelming for practically anyone who cant match his athletism besides Vitali klitchko who himself is 6'7 and TOUGH.

    Lewis /M. Tyson and Wlad klitchko are the best bets.

    AJ has proven poor stamina. He was sucking air for two rounds against Whyte after taking a few body shots. Luckily for him Whyte was gassed out as well.
    Joe Louis would shatter his jaw into fragments and blast a hole through his ribcage.
    Liston turns him over too

    Former light heavys and cruisers like Haye, Adamek, Cunningham, and Huck were wrecking havoc against today's giants and they weren't half as good as the smaller men from the era before them, like Spinks, Holyfield, Byrd, and Toney. Fighters like Tunney, Walcott, and Louis had way too much skill for the current bunch. Louis or any legend would have finished where Cunningham couldn't and knocked Fury the feck out.

    Its very obvious you never watched a fight before the year 2003. You got to be the biggest casual know nothing on this forum.

    Liston had slow feet and was a lunger, he was also k.od by far less puncher early in his own career who weighed 175 pounds .Liston relied more on size ,and at 6'1 210 in his prime is rarley a threat today if he meets another MUCH bigger refined skilled guy. He also had poor balance because his leg stance didn't match his upper movements and created poor accuracy alot. foreman of the 90's would pose a far bigger threat than Liston.

    Williams was out boxing liston before he got caught,i dont think hes out boxing Joshua,it would be good up until joshua decides to end it. Again if you take a guy like Razor Ruddock who was a bigger stronger style like Williams he is a more threat ,his tyson fights show how dangerous he was and tough,These are REAL fights one can compare. Williams simply doesnt have the chin size nor ability to deal with Joshua. There is no PROVE it necessary the skills are there on video footage.


    what i say is PROVE these past time guys could hang with such an imposing talent like Joshua...SHOW ME a fight that suggests that? lol See when you do that there really is none.
