    Even though Joshua is the bigger man with a big punch himself so on paper he should be a legitimate threat.

    My only issue is that Joshua has looked nervous or froze up at times in some of his big fights.

    Against Ruiz he looked noticeably nervous for his first fight in America. And once Joshua got caught he stayed in a haze for the rest of the fight and got beat up.

    Joshua also looked very nervous against Dubois IMO and once Dubois came out and dictated centre ring with the jab Joshua looked like a deer in the headlights.

    I think if Joshua fought Foreman in America added with Foreman's reputation of being a scary KO artist.

    I think Joshua would freeze up and get KO'ed personally.
