    AJ would most likely be too much, though Young could fox and strut his way to a win on the right night against anyone...

    I guess it depends on who’s judging.

    Very valid point!
    If the judges aren't blind, drunk or fixed, then Jimmy gets a decision.

    AJ via UD or mid-to-late stoppage

    Why ferguson? You think Joshua can only win if he stops Young?

    I agree mate. Young would outsmart AJ who can easily be outboxed.

    Young schools Joshua at his best, embarrasses him
    after the loss to Ruiz.

    15 rounds? as the 12th turns to 13 then 14 A.J. is sucking air like an asthmatic looking for an oxygen tank. He's never able to hit Young solidly with his basic one two the whole fight and Jimmy wins a UD , maybe KO if Joshua passes out from fatigue.

    How can Joshua be made to look bigger, more lumbering and musclebound? Jimmy would have shown you. Young makes Ali, Norton, Lyle, and Foreman look clumsy, slow and inept, yet somehow can't figure out a clueless big lug like Joshua???

    This. If it's 12, I think Young gets a very clear UD.

    That said, if it goes past 12...as light a puncher as Young was, I'm not sure AJ could make it to a 14th round.

    But Young is a midget! 6'6 240 crushes little Jimmy Young!

    Joking, Young by UD or KO if it's over 15.

    15 rounds. LOL. I'll bet a lot of fighters would quit and find another job, rather than fight 15 rounds.

    How about 15 rounds in the thrilla in Manila heat? Think Joshua can do 7 rounds in those conditions?

    The Joshua camp would avoid a match like this at all costs. He'd be made to look foolish. And Jimmy had enough snap on that right hand to have Ali and Foreman falling for feints. He'd have a guy like Joshua falling for every feint after about 4 rounds.
