    Can you see it?
    Anthony Joshua defending, against some of those hard hitting, heavyweight s of
    the 1990 s.?
    I'm not entirely sure he ever makes it to championship level.

    He would struggle.
    Personally, l think the Heavyweight division hasn't been great for a while now.
    He gets a lot of negative posts, but has fought pretty much everyone within reason, apart from Fury.

    Beats the **** out of Foreman, Moorer, Morrison, Fat Douglas, Briggs, and Golota.

    He'd do fine. Maybe even upset one of the top guys.

    1. Evander Holyfield might be too big for Vander in 1990
    2. Mike Tyson Beats Tyson in 1990 he was awful v Douglas
    3. Razor Ruddock Beats Ruddock because he makes less mistakes and throws more punches
    4. James (Buster) Douglas 50/50 fight
    5. Tim Witherspoon beats Witherspoon who is way past it
    6. Carl Williams beats Williams who is easy to KO at tis stage
    7. Francesco Damiani beats Diamani cause he`s better than him
    8. Riddick Bowe 50/50 fight Bowe was very easy to hit
    9. Ray Mercer beats Mercer
    10. George Foreman beats Foreman because Foreman is so slow

    1. Evander Holyfield Holy improved in his rematch v Bowe and was bigger (probably on PEDS) He`d have too much experience for AJ by then and would stop him by late TKO
    2. Riddick Bowe Bowe is overweight by now so AJ pips him in a close one
    3. Lennox Lewis Lewis looked bad v Tucker AJ would have countered his sloppy right hands and stopped him
    4. Michael Moorer
    5. Michael Bentt Bentt wa nothing
    6. Oliver McCall McCall had nothing but a good chin
    7. Ray Mercer
    8. Phil Jackson Jackson was completely out-classed v Lewis and wouldn`t crack today`s top 10
    9. Tommy Morrison
    10. Mike Hunter Hunter was not near AJ`s level

    1. George Foreman
    2. Oliver McCall
    3. Riddick Bowe Bowe starts improving a bit making a march towards the WBO his hand speed would be too much for AJat this point, great fight though
    4. Michael Moorer If Foreman could stop Moorer then AJ would too
    5. Lennox Lewis Lewis starting to improve under Steward 50/50
    6. Herbie Hide Hide too small
    7. Larry Holmes Holmes too old

    1. Riddick Bowe
    2. Lennox Lewis
    3. Mike Tyson Tyson sloppy at tyhis point, AJ would stop him in a close fight, might lose rematch to Mike though
    4. Michael Moorer
    5. Evander Holyfield Holy still beats AJ at this stage
    6. Bruce Seldon Seldon gets blown out
    7. Frank Bruno Bruno would get stopped

    3. Mike Tyson Tyson really loses his way by tyhis stage

    Agree with everything except for not being entirely sure, cause Joshua is one of the worst HW champs ever. He gets this from most of the 90's guys: :boxing1

    Edit: The 90's guys at their very best*
