    Foreman was very smart with high IQ. Remember how Ali had more problems with Frazier than to defeat Foreman? This is because Frazier in some way was more sneaky than Ali predicted.

    Ofc if he managed to land before Frazier closed distance, this was different question.

    Then we can just add 3 inches on Ali, give him the legs he had in 1966... problem solved

    Ruiz is a few inches taller with the same reach.

    He’s heavier, because he’s so overweight.

    Faster?

    Really?

    It would never have been as simple as that.

    Joshua doesn’t like pressure and has a suspect gas tank.

    It wouldn’t have been an easy fight.

    It’s not really relevant what AJ and others may have done against Norton.

    Ali may have beaten Ruiz easily.

    This is a prime for prime, H2H match up.

    AJ is great but he’d have struggled with Ali’s speed and footwork.

    Frazier wasn’t significantly smaller than those guys and AJ fights nothing like Foreman.

    It would be as simple as that, Frazier’s style isn’t meant to be fighting backwards, if you don’t see the obvious mismatch between Frazier and Joshua I’m not gonna bother trying to convince you

    Who says he’d have been fighting backwards?

    Frazier’s pressure, style and size would have been problematic.

    Size isn’t always an advantage to the bigger fighter.

    Can't believe there are so many votes for AJ. Who has AJ fought that's even close to ALI level? 41 year old Wladmir?

    Belive it or not, within this very thread, there were morons who were convinced that Joshua would make easy work of Ali even BEFORE he fought Wladimir. It's been 3.5 years but this thread doesn't get any less idiotic.

    I think joshua loses this fight in the first press conference when ali would be smack talking him senseless and hed be trying to ignore him and laiten to stormzy on his beats.
