100% that kind of muscle would be fatigued, if not totally useless, in the 10th round of a bowe - holyfield fight.
let's also talk about skill. bowe was a potent offensive fighter with a terrific jab. joshua looks great against guys who probably wouldn't even be in contention in the 90's, but how's he going to look against hall of famers? i just don't see the tricks. these guys can't get around the size and the power. bowe had damn near the same size, hit like a mule, and had a much more dynamic / fluid style and presentation.
if joshua's not able to dominate holyfield with his jab and clinch inside every single time he's probably going to lose. wladimir has been flattened by much, much lesser fighters than holyfield, who wasn't a titanic puncher but who knew how to keep his hands free, step to the side, and throw combinations. no way wladimir finishs the fight. holyfield woudl butt his way out of close clinches and turn wladimir into a school child.
