    Stop him ? LOL lets stop jerking off the bodybuilder.

    Aj would land at will and would win all 12 rounds but he's not stopping Foreman. Shannon Briggs nor Morrison could do it and they probably hit as hard as Aj, maybe harder. Aj's never KO'd anybody with a solid chin but Povetkin and he was 39 at that point and lost his legs, and got dropped by Klitschko multiple times before then. He's powerful but overall his power is overrated tbh. He couldn't even drop Parker or KO Ruiz, took him a while to drop Pulev too when he was beating his ass whereas it took one hit from Klitschko to put a younger Pulev on the floor

    Morrison was focused on boxing and Briggs lost that fight imo. I don’t think Foreman could handle a skilled puncher like Joshua who’s going to be landing hard combinations at will.

    Morrison was landing a crapton of powerpunches at will and never phased Foreman. In all honesty Joshua would be boxing as well, he wouldn't just unload on Foreman because Foreman would walk Aj down, jabbing, swinging and trying to set up huge powershots and Aj would be cautious of Foremans power regardless of how slow he is, he'd jab Foreman from a distance and counter over Foremans Jab continously, all night long. It would not be a competitive fight whatsoever. That i do agree with

    But i don't see Aj stopping him, especially because his stamina is even worse than Foremans and would gas trying to KO him. The man gassed against Pulev trying to knock him out. And if it came to that, Foreman KOing Aj is very possible.

    Morrison was mainly jabbing and moving backwards landing a few decent shots here and there, boring one-sided fight.

    Yeah Aj would be doing that too. Briggs was keen on brawling with Lennox Lewis but didn't try that at all against Foreman. And the clean shots he landed bounced right off, just like Morrison. Morrison swapped hands with George in spots but it isn't wise to do that all the time with Foreman. Joshua aint anymore of a brawler that those guys and he'd be well aware of Foremans power, especially current cautious Aj. He'd just light Foreman up from a distance.

    AJ would have bounced combo`s off the slower Foreman`s head, AJ is a more dynamic boxer than Foreman or Briggs were, no 48 year old would stand a chance with AJ.

    Foreman could comeback today and KO him.

    AJ would be chewing his gumshield saying he feels funny whilst Big George stares him down.

    George was steely cold and had genuine self belief. AJ doesn't have that.

    Did i say 48 year old Foreman would beat Aj ? I said Aj would land at will and school him, but he wouldn’t stop Foreman. All you Aj fanboys act like he's this unbeatable force with never before seen punching power and the greatest combination puncher to ever live when he literally got his ass whooped by a taco bell manager 2 years ago and wasn't confident enough to try and KO him in the rematch.

    It's so cringy, you guys are acting like Fury fanboys.

    As long as AJ isn't dumb and boxes and moves he wins a comfortable decision. If we see a repeat of the Ruiz 1 performance then you can't write Foreman off, one right hand might be all he needs. But AJ UD is by far the most likely outcome.

    AJ, it would be brutal. Not sure it would be a knockout win as Old George was sturdier than his younger version but he was certainly beat him up over 12.
