    I couldn't disagree more. We are not talking about the fat, disinterested version of Bowe that fought Golota. The Bowe that beat Holyfield is far better than any fighter Joshua has faced so far. I see Bowe dragging Joshua into the trenches. And, I don't think Joshua would like it. Bowe had excellent infighting skills for a big man. I see him turning this into a street fight, and stopping Joshua in 6-8 rounds.

    At this stage I favour Bowe. This would be a war

    Joshua is a better boxer than Bowe. I can see Bowe having some success but I think AJ's methodical approach breaks Bowe down in the long run. Bowe liked to pick on little guys. Joshua's size is going to be very problematic for Bowe.

    Bowe does everything better. Bowe beats the crap out of him. It doesn't go past 7 or 8 rds

    Prime Bowe would've destroyed Joshua in my opnion, Joshua fights on a level well below what Bowe proved he could fight at when motivated . Nothing Joshua has shown suggest he could've been been competitive with a motivated and prime Bowe. Bowe stops Joshua within 10 rds, but probably within 5.

    Two years ago, I'd lean toward Bowe. Now I'm not sure, maybe AJ.

    I’ve been thinking about this for some time but today for some reason, I’ve just got the feeling that Bowe would have won by stoppage.

    I think Saturday's fight pretty much ended this debate.
