    Wilder KO's all of them, Lewis would pose the biggest problem but he was very stationary, Wilder out speeds him. Lewis has been out cold vs far lesser punchers/fighters than Wilder and has gone the distance with far lesser fighters.

    AJ beats most of them as well, again Lewis poses the biggest threat, that's a 50-50 fight. I could see AJ pulling it off though having already fought and learned from a Steward fighter in Klitschko.

        Michael Grant would waste both Joshua and Wilder easily

          Moorer too small, Foreman probably too old and slow (prime Foreman wins) the rest beat them easily. Neither Wilder or AJ have boxing skills. Totally dependent on size and power.

            Agree 100%.

            We have these phenomenal athletes that from a purely athletic standpoint, are good enough to compete at any era in boxing history.

            But as I said only on athletisism.

            They don't compete with the likes of Lewis when it comes to ring IQ.

              I just don't see Lewis and Tyson being able to compete with the strength of Joshua and Wilder

                Nah? You are joking right?

                Tyson probably beat 10-15 guys better than Wilder. He'd last less than 2-3 rounds with either.

                Imagine Bowe against Wilder. Even the fat Bowe kills him.

                  LOL Joshua barely survived the ghost of Wlad Klit, by the skin of his teeth. And Deontay was getting absolutely schooled by an out of shape senior citizen.

                  Both guys would be set up fights for bigger championship fights in other eras. Big name stepping stones. But in the age where Bermane Stiverne and Chris 'Titty' Arreola are considered top flight contenders, they thrive.

                  Been saying it for a while- Wilder is a lighter, less skilled version of Michael Grant.

                  Big Mike was 31-0 with 24 KOs before Lennox bamboozled him in 2.
