    They must be 176-200 on fight night. No 200 the day before and 220 in the ring.

    Nobody that size could beat AJ, it would help if they could match his reach though, Dubois is far stronger than any fighter in history that was 200lbs or lighter.

    Maybe a cruiserweight Holyfield.

    Too small, which is why Bowe bullied him in their first fight, look at the success a slow Foreman had v Holy just because of his size advantage.

    He wouldn`t be able to take AJ`s power.

    Would Louis throw a right to the body?

    Dempsey often got hit and AJ is better than anybody Dempsey beat.

    There were plenty of excellent heavyweights that came in under 200 lbs throughout the history of the division that would have a good chance beating Joshua.

    As for my pick it’s Jimmy Bivins.

    Here is a caller giving his very strong opinion on Joshua.

    Dempsey got hit infrequently, even when he was fighting clever boxers.

    His head movement was on a Duran type level.

    Obviously when he miscalculated, he could be in trouble quickly.
