    I think Joshua's instability would show and Foreman would finish him off.

    I think Foreman hits too hard for Joshua

    That version of Foreman was severely finished even from the Cooney fight.

    I’d go with Joshua here, but Foreman has a puncher’s chance.

    Foreman of the Cooney fight would be a very tough fight even for the best of Joshua though.

    Andy Ruiz and Daniel Dubois showed that AJ has no chin "for Foreman".
    Let's not forget the most important thing - Foreman is "hungry" for the title.

    Yes, but somewhat like when AJ beat Ruiz - is there a possibility that AJ can be disciplined and mobile enough to leave Big George just chasing him and chasing him?

    I happen to think that George could land something big and AJ does an AJ, but then, wouldn't surprise me if George was completely outmanoeuvred, despite his excellent jab and knack for landing.

    As Joshua couldn’t handle an obese super middleweight in New York, it’s hard to imagine him be not being bludgeoned by George.

    Joshua batters big George into submission. Foreman was getting killed by Moorer when he caught him with the one shot. Joshua would have beaten him up and knocked him out or at least had the ref stop the fight.

    Kindly define "getting killed by Moore".

    Sure Moore was peppering Foreman at will and raking easy points; but I dont remember Foreman being hurt and in serious problem during the whole fight.
