Anthony Joshua vs Prime George Foreman. Who wins and how?

I think Joshua beats Joe Frazier. That's it.

 

You think the guy that lost to the tub of lard Andy Ruiz is going to beat smokin Joe Frazier?

 

Old thread from who you feel is overrated:

I admittedly have a bias and don't think as highly of Joe Frazier as some.

 

Joshua would murder Frazier

 

Maybe with a 357 magnum at close range

 

I love AJ but he loses to all of them prime for prime.

 

Even i agree. I've changed my mind on Frazier. He is too small for Joshua. He got hurt by Bugner, was down on the cards until the stoppage against Mathis. And got destroyed by Foreman. Although i do think Joshua vs Frazier would last longer than Foreman vs Frazier. Joshua isn't going to manhandle Frazier. He's never done that against any of his opponents unless he's trying to finish them off. He didn't do it against Povetkin who is the closest thing to Frazier Aj's ever fought. But yeah he KO's Frazier. Looses to everyone else

 

Yea Frazier gets stopped early, and foreman could potentially be outboxed. Idk how a fight with Ali would go but AJ gets stopped by Tyson

 

This

 

I think Foreman stops him late while down on the cards. Ali i think just outboxes him in a difficult fight. I saw how that Savon fight played out. It wasn't even competitive. Aj's improved but he hasn't fought anyone like that since

 

people saying dumb stuff like George wouldn't land much and he is easy to land on he loses 1st round

 

Post Usyk/Joshua, I would like to update my answer. I don't even think Joshua beats Frazier

 

People were overrating AJ before ... now they are underrating him.

The dude is huge, has decent technique and superb power. His chin isn't iron but then its not glass either. He's shown ability to adjust in fights and turn it around. I think AJ's worst matchup is probably Ali but I'd give him a chance against all of them

 

I will do my best to rated AJ objectively.
I will not comment on other fights than just AJ Vs Big George.
Prime George Foreman (1973.) win by KO. I don't want to underrate George Foreman.
AJ has never encountered such force in his career; George Foreman has (Ron Lyle).
In the best possible scenario for AJ, the fight would end like a George Foreman vs Ron Lyle.
You just have to put Andy Ruiz Jr. in the equation, the mathematics will be clear.
We can talk about the problem from the other side. How many boxers (fighters) managed to win the title in separate decades?

Foreman : ~225lb

Foreman has neither size nor power that AJ has never seen before. What I will give Foreman is that he brought a lot of intensity to his fights. That might see him fluster AJ and crack him open. Or, of course, it might see him walk onto a massive punch and then we see how well Foreman reacts to a 250lb+ power puncher, something he never saw in the 70s.
