    Also AJ has powefull mid range punches, but his jab and straight right are not as powerfull as Wlads.

    Wlad would win. People are getting too sucked up into recency bias. Unlike Joshua Wlad knew how to use his lead hand effectively against southpaws. He’d keep it out in front to blind and distract Usyk, knockdown his jab arm to get in a jab or quick straight and nullify the straight left.
    His reflexes, hand speed and footwork are a lot better than Joshua. He also could use his size and strength and fight dirty too, again unlike Joshua.

    Joshua has tried somwhat to adopt Klitschkos style but it hasn't worked for him like it worked for Vladimir.. apart from the clinical finishing it was boring but effective.. Joshua just doesn't & never will have Wlads footwork
