    How do you feel that AJ would do against the Lyle that made Foreman go life and death?

    After Ron catches him he’d be...

    Joshua has no chin. If Ron Lyle catches him it is good night. Lyle on the other hand had a decent and showed he could get up and up and keep fighting. Lyle also showed he was willing to trade and fight like a man. Something AJ has yet to show.

    Yeah it would be a classic fight. AJ may have to get up off of the canvas to win

    Joshua wins easily. Lyle was your typical American "started late, but great athlete" guy, like Ken Norton. Both had major flaws they couldn't conquer. Norton was always stiff as a board, Lyle never had much of a ring IQ.

    No one really saw Ron Lyle in his prime as he was in prison. I think opinions of his boxing skills would be different if he had been able to develop his skills in a more conventional manner.

    I actually think he'd rally to end up stopping Lyle.

    A lose-able fight for AJ. Lyle isn't about textbook boxing, that goes out the window against strong chinned, power-punching tyrants who eat shots like kids eat cereal. It comes down to stamina, heart and will power.

    He could stop Lyle as @InMemoryofJakeLamotta said, but he WOULD walk through some pain to do it. Lyle's old fashion: 1,000 push-ups a day off a big bowl of spinach, cooked penitentiary style.

    50/50. Joshua hasn't faced a puncher like Lyle yet, but Lyle also didn't pace himself well, so if Joshua can avoid any major exchanges with Lyle for 5-6 rounds Joshua could win, but if Joshua gets clipped early he most likely gets stopped, since he doesn't have Foreman's durability.

    That's what would make this fight a nightmare for the odds makers
