    To claim Joshua has better footwork, better timing, better accuracy, better jab than Ali is not reasoning, It's trolling and being an idiot.

    Also, Savon is a 6'3 210 lbs fighter with good movement, speed and boxing skills. Remind you of someone? Who else has Joshua fought since then who can box? who can jab, who can use lateral movement, who can move his head? Of course Erislandy Savon is the most relevant Joshua opponent when you assess his chances in a fantasy match up againt Ali.

    I'm not Galavatron. He knows his boxing unlike some of you guys. Still waiting for one of you to come up with a argument against what he says.

    Savon has had over 200 fights. Compared to Klitschko's, Ortiz etc Joshua has had a very short career as an amateur. Joshua has improved in leaps and bounds since, even in his last pro fight. Your example is not relevant anymore.

    It is not relevant, if you can name one Joshua opponent since then who can box. Who's above average in jab, speed, lateral movement, head and upper body movement, ring IQ departments. I'll wait. Otherwise, Erislandy Savon is still the most relevant in this particular fantasy match up.

    I opened this thread of the opinion that Ali waxes Aj for fun BUT some of the points for a Joshua win make an awful lot of sense once you really think about it ( it boils down to size matters, assuming a certain level of skill is attained )

    To my eye, I agree that Ali has better footwork ( GALVATRON WTF??? ) and from what I have seen a better jab too but even if this is the case AJ is a much bigger man in a sport where historically size is the biggest edge .

    Well of course the other fault in your argument is that pre-pro version of Joshua BEAT Savon.

    Yea im pretty much done here,nothing i can post bc a BETTER overview of this is would be a waste of my time.This has pretty much been covered., i didnt even get into positioning footwork and distance of each uses of ACTUAL footwork which would further handicap the match even more if possible.

    I'd have no problem with it if someone picks Joshua to beat Ali with his size, strength, power and athleticim. But when you claim he has better footwork, better jab, better ring IQ etc. I can't take that seriously. Either he's trolling or too dumb for boxing.

    I can't believe the thread poll has 40 votes for Joshua. Ali's superior jab and speed of footwork would dismantle Joshua's attempts to set up his attacks, and Ali would drag big AJ into the championship rounds and open up a big can of whoop ass on him.

    It's just when 'someone else' uses phrases like 'awesome ownage' it kinda reads like a poster using an alt to back himself up when he's been triggered. And Galvatron kinda gets triggered easily, especially when someone questions his man-love AJ. Also you've not really added anything to the discussion other than back him up, which contradicts your request that people should make their own case. And yet you haven't. Why? Unless you have already, of course, from your main account... lol

    The actual fault in my argument is to assume you saw that fight and have any idea who Erislandy Savon is. You've never seen that fight and have no ****ing clue who Savon is, otherwise you'd know that he dominated Joshua despite being only 6'3 210 lbs.
