    Any heavyweight who can bang has always got a chance, it only takes one mistake combined with a great shot.

    Ruiz is a rapid puncher bro, obviously I didn’t expect him to beat AJ as I didn’t really have a clue who he was at the time, not gonna pretend otherwise but I don’t see Pulev causing AJ any issues.

    Now there's a really boring boxer. Absolute box office poison. Only rivalled by Okolie, who's also on the bill! <laugh>
    Florian Marku's quite entertaining. Big following over here, considering he's Albanian. Lining him up to fight Benn, by the looks of it.

    Exactly - latest example I can give is Whyte vs Povetkin where Whyte dominated every round but got knocked out with one shot.

    Joshua has no chin, so I firmly believe that he could be knocked out

    I've watched a couple of Marku's fights and I agree - he is entertaining and might do really well.

    I know nothing about Okolie, his stats look impress though - he is a massive cruiserweight with a 14-0-0 record and 11 KOs.

    Povetkin and Whyte are a closer match, none of us know how that match would have unfolded the longer ok’ chunky Whyte went on.

    Maybe it’s just me, I see the gulf between AJ and Pulev as absolutely massive.

    Okolie's big, strong and actually not bad technically, but his style is utterly dull. Constant hugging.

    Joshua has no heart for it if the other guy starts hitting him back...

    Needs to pack on the pounds and become a heavyweight - will fit in fine in the current division.

    Have you watched the Klitschko fight - he showed a lot of heart there.

    Wouldn’t say he has no chin, Whyte landed some bombs on him and he stayed on his feet. Volume will do Joshua, he can’t get his fat head out of the way quick enough. I’d say him vs Whyte 10 fights they’d each win 5. I just don’t see AJ’s ability to get out of the way of punches, he relies far too much on the offensive, which is why he has absolutely no option but to try and KO Fury inside 3-4 rounds when they eventually meet.

    Like when he got up off the deck in the 6th vs Klitschko, took a bit of a pounding for the next couple, then completely dismantled him in 11th you mean?

    **** off Chaos you bad contrary biff.

    Don't get me wrong I think you're right, but he might get knocked out

    This I agree with almost completely - I do however predict that Fury wouldn't give Joshua any chance to get close enough to hit him properly and will jab his way to a decision.
