    Knowing Bowe, he probably meant if he got in the ring with them NOW.

    Bowe would have easily outjab him and destroy him on the inside... Joshua has slow feet, Bowe won't have any problems finding him

    I agree, he couldn't keep that pace. Lewis or the Klit brothers wouldn't have either most likely. But while being the bigger man often gives you a disadvantage in terms of stamina, it often gives you an advantage in terms of dictating the pace. That's what Lewis did to an old Lewis, and it was what all of these 6'6 250 lbs guys would have to do against either Holy or Bowe.

    Prime Bowe handles the Joshua we know thus far. Without too much angst.

    Bowe.At his best was a far superior fighter his best was a short few years but at this time his movement jab inside game and skill would be far to much for AJ.

    No question Bowe and Holy would probably beat up AJ and gas him out

    Bowl did not even have the balls to fight Lennox.

    He would have zero chance against someone of Joshua's level.

    Everyone that Joshua has fought Bowe would have knocked out cold.

    There isn't a damn thing that 41 year old old man retiree Wlad Klitschko did better than prime Riddick Bowe. Bowe would have beat the hell out of that gray haired has been.

    Wlad's defense was terrible against Joshua. Just look at him putting BOTH of his hands straight forward to block Joshua's punches. Any novice boxer would have taken full advantage of WK.

    He's not faster. That's factually incorrect, you can check the film on that one.

    He hasn't proven to be significantly stronger than any opponents. It doesn't matter anyway, what are they gonna do arm wrestle? Joshua doesn't have a very physical style.

    Footwork? So far both showed simplistic footwork. Nothing intricate in the slightest.

    Joshua's defense sucks lol

    Joshua hasn't proven to have better power than Bowe at all. Bowe actually fought and stopped good fighters that were prime. Joshua struggles to put down a middle aged Klitschko whose ready to start collecting retirement lmao.

    Typical Joshua fanboy.

    Bowe would be a nightmare for AJ. His jab is better and inside there is simply no comparison. He also had very good power, to put Evander out is no easy feat. Holy barely blinked taking Tyson's patented body/uppercut in I believe round 5 of their first fight. Lewis bounced punches of Evander for 24 rounds and barely made a dent, Mercer, Dokes, Foreman, Cooper, Holmes, Stewart, Holyfield ate everybody's shots and kept coming so if Bowe can ice him with one shot basically like he did in fight 3 I think his power is on par with AJ. Now maybe Evander was ill for that fight but Bowe also destroyed his body, that's what Bowe did, he was a monster on the inside or outside. Workrate would topple AJ he was gassed out of his mind in round 4 or 5 vs Klitschko if he would've gassed like that vs either Holyfield or Bowe its game over!!

    No you just have no argument based upon real valid points just the usual "he hits harder" or "He's stronger and bigger"

    Garbage.
