    I love AJ but this is another disrespectful post! Ali who fought and beat the greatest heavyweights in the history of boxing. This really deserves no further comment than to place it in the nonsense box. What next Wladimir Klitschko bearing peak version of Larry Holmes and Mike Tyson or wait for Beyoncé Wilder defeating Big George Foreman. Next we shall be told Tyson Fury would knock out Smoking Joe Frazier, Kenny Norton and Riddick Bose with one hand tied behind his back. No I have got Tyson Fury would outclass Lennox Lewis.

    Ali should win it on points, but I think AJ can give him some fits. The separation between the two will be more obvious in the later rounds. Ali's stamina and innate ability to know when to turn it on and how to tire the other man out are extremely underrated parts of his game, seen best vs Foreman and Lyle. IF you want to see Ali at his best, watch the 1st Liston fight. Liston had a reach of 84", bigger than AJ's. Ali was simply too fast.

    You mean somethink like what happened with usyk vs joe joyce? Totally smashed by Ali? if you're flat footed lile AJ how will you land anything on ali he will be 5 steps away every time you punch..and yes you got that one punch every round or 2 and you get him clean on his chin and then what?!!? Ali chin is 100/100 by mid roaunds Aj will be so slow he will not land anything.so from 6th on it will be Ali geting points just like usyk..you wanted a explanation how its done ask ? Vitali vs Byrd

    Shaver`s hit harder than Cooper, Ali put weight on in the 70`s and took shots better in that decade, no way could AJ take the amount of punches from Frazier that Ali took in TFOTC and AJ would have gassed in Manilla going toe to toe with Joe.

    I think AJ would do well in a fight wit Ali and wouldn`t be out-psyched despite being destroyed at the presser.

    So you don’t think a 6’6 230+ pound guy can out muscle 5’11 210 guy, another bias post. Also Frazier has only met one real dangerous punching heavyweight(Foreman) and was completely steam rolled and man handled. Note that foreman was 6’3 217 and likely drained from cutting weight, imagine what someone the size of Joshua would do to Frazier. Also just a horrible stylistic matchup, imagine the much smaller Frazier trying to swarm in on a super heavyweight with ko power and also throws in combinations. Frazier most likely won’t make it to the third round. It is EXTREMELY far fetched to say that Frazier would get the better of him. If you can’t see the obvious mismatch I don’t know what to tell you

    How exactly would Frazier survive going toe to toe with a 6’6 super heavyweight combination puncher with ko power. Ridiculous

    Ali has become a myth to many here. Do well vs Ali? On Ali's best night be might give AJ some problems. More likely AJ stops Ali.

    Most of Ali's opponents would be CWs to small HWs today. When he fought someone his own size with skill, like the chinny Norton 3X, he struggled. Many say Ali is 1-2 at best vs. Norton. Most top 2000s HWs demolish Norton and would defeat Ali.

    I'm curious why you think Ali would "destroy" AJ in the presser? What would he say to AJ? That he's better looking :shakehead: or has better rhymes?

    It’s not wrestling, It’s boxing. Joshua could outmuscle Fraizer, but as I said in the previous post, we haven’t really seen him impose his size yet. He doesn’t bully his opponents around, he doesn’t knock their punches out of the way, he doesn’t push them to get some space or get them to punching range, all of the things Foreman used against Fraizer.

    Joshua would try to keep Fraizer off with the jab, will try to catch him with uppercuts as Fraizer dives in. The problem is, Fraizer can move his head, unlike Joshua himself and much better than anyone he’s fought to date. Fraizer will be on Joshua’s chest, he’s not gonna give him the distance to put his combinations together and he will find home for his left hook regularly.

    This couldn’t be any further apart from being a mismatch.

    maybe he hasn’t imposed his size much because he hasn’t fought anyone as small as Frazier
