If Joshua can move well and box, he'll win on decision. But he needs to avoid power punches from Foreman, otherwise it's lights out. Another thing Joshua's got going for him is his size, he can more than wrestle/hug Foreman.
OK what if Foreman does connect and doesn't gas out? I don't think aj stays away from Foreman for 12 rounds, I don't think aj is chinny but I also don't think that would matter against a Foreman who could flatten most fighters he landed on and is one of the hardest hitters in history Aj doesn't exactly have the best engine either.. He tends to look ****ed by around the mid rounds as well... He's not the hardest to hit I doubt he goes past 5 rounds with Foreman You must regard aj highly in regards to top heavies ever
I'm not exactly a fan of Joshua and don't regard him that highly either. Thing is, I don't regard Foreman that highly either. He was slow and not particularly very skilled. I'm not saying he lacked skill, but let's just say I doubt he'd top anyone's list of skilled HWs. Given his punching power, if he had a bit more speed and skill, he should have walked through someone like Ali with relative ease.
I don't think any fighter ever is going to walk through Ali with relative ease... Im biased... I like Foreman but I can admit his faults... He moved like he was stuck in molasses, he wasn't the most skilled.. But he disposed of most people stuck infront of him... And brutally... He's bigger than Joshua... He hits harder, his chins better... Aj probably has a slight edge in speed, gas tanks about the same... I know an unbeaten record isn't everything but after watching Aj get bounced around the ring by the fat kid out of up I don't think he has a hope in hell against big George foreskin
Um. no he isn't, he's smaller. He was "big George" in his era, now he'd be "average George" at HW. Completely agree with you on that. I see Joshua as having a bit more endurance. Fair enough. I say that if he can move, AJ can outpoint Foreman. Not saying it's gonna be easy, and there's always the risk of getting KOd
Joshua definitely beats Zaire Ali. It’s like putting giving 20 pounds, 3 inches, and much more boxing skill to foreman and still thinking Ali wins. Another bias statement, again I’m not surprised, you don’t even bother to mention what a great boxer Wlad is or even think about the clash of styles between foreman and Wlad. It is very possible that Wlad could take out foreman. Wlad is also a devastating puncher who has patience, stamina, and timing. Anything can happen, but if foreman fought Wlad 10 times he would definitely win 8 of those bouts. What else does Joshua have over foreman??? Faster feet, faster hands, size, and much more boxing skill. Joshua isn’t little joe Frazier and he definitely wouldn’t be standing right in front of him and trying to go toe to toe like Lyle, he’d be moving around with his faster feet and using powerful and quick combinations to keep foreman off of him, foreman does not have a win over anyone as good as AJ. Norton has never made it past round 2 against a power puncher, Ron Lyle’s best accomplishment was beating shavers, Young would simply get crushed by aj and this should be obvious, and No way in hell would 70s Ali be a unified champion today. Joshua has tested these skills against Wlad, povetkin, and Whyte, he actually knocked out all of them. Who did foreman test his superior skills against, little man Frazier and Lyle Joshua does throw fast combinations, just because he lost doesn’t mean he doesn’t throw fats combinations joshua isn’t avoiding anyone, he’s going to fight fury and wilder turned down the contract. You can make the case for foreman as well, he’s looked questionable against lesser fighters and his best win is against little man Joe Frazier, who would probably be a cruiserweight today
My bad on the height.... I had it in my head that George was bout 6, 7 for some reason.. Maybe he's shrunk lol
He's not bigger. AJ is 6'6 245 pounds of lean muscle (yeah yeah I know, roids and weight lifting or sorcery, but it doesn't matter how he got his size, what matters is he has it). Foreman in his prime was 6'3 220-225 pounds. Foreman would be the smaller man here.
