    Probably the Kab Driver right now. Agit is legit. He'll make Joshua kaba-yell for mercy when he starts going to those HGH abs.

    Back when Joshua was in his prime I always wanted to see him fight someone who came forward with heaps of bodyshots to see how he handled it.

    Kabayel probably takes it at this point unless Joshua finds something in himself.

    Joshua still has the power though and eating clean shots to land your own like Kabayel was doing against Zhang works wonderfully until it suddenly doesn't.

    I wouldn't count AJ out he still has the power to hurt Kabayel and Kabayel more breaks guys down for the stoppage with his body work. AJ is not soft to the body and he is a lot faster than Zhang I could see him tagging Kabayel with his solid right uppercut when he tires to get in close for his body work.

    Lmao obviously Kabayel knocks AJ out.

    The crazy thing is, 8 years ago he was considered a poor fighter and was used as proof Chisora was done at the top level.

    I think a lot of heavyweights would've folded from that body work I just think that Zhang was too slow to stop him where I don't think Kabayel will get to AJ's body as consistently as he did to Zhang's.

    How often did opponents stand toe to toe with Zhang and just go after his body relentlessly?

    Everyone on boxing forums and subreddits: don't stand and trade with Zhang, dance around and pot-shot him!
    Kabayel: Nein. halt mein bier. :ggg

    True . Kabayel did an amazing job . Don,t fear the infight with zhang but hammer brutally the ribs , solarplexus and the liver . Trust your chin to weather the storm on the infight .

    The guy has not only some serious heart but also some serious eggs .

    Was I watching the same fight. He did well but the body shots didn’t seem massively crushing to me. I think clean crisp punches could spark him out. I think AJ has the tools to do that. I also thing he has more minerals, heart and hunger than AJ so I would fancy him. But he’s not elite and the top guys (Usyk) beat him easily

    AJ is a bum

    AJ has already ducked Kabayek who he has used numerous times as a sparring partner. Fury then got to spar him and was very impressed almost fighting him but not after lots of uproar back when everyone treated kabayel as a bum.

    Usyk, Fury, Dubious, Parker, Kabayel, Chisora, Bakole and Dave Allen all beat AJ right now. No idea who AJ intends to fight...Parker rematch maybe? Or probably still praying for Fury.

    Depending on what form AJ turns up in, I'd actually back AJ by KO.

    I just don't think AJ has the ability to win a fight if his power can't carry the day. I give him a punchers chance but hands down Kabayel is the more refined pugilist with a higher ring IQ.

    Did I hear AJ sparred Kabayel For the Zhang fight?

    Kabayel supposedly knocked AJ out cold in sparring in the lead up to the first Ruiz match, so I guess that means Kabayel if they fight will be 2-0.:sisi1
