    How do you think AJ would do against Foreman both 70s and 90s versions?

    He gets knocked into next week by George. Even the slow 90s version.

    Joshua is there for the right hand... Foreman would set him up for it like Wlad did.. Prime Foreman certainly wins, the comeback version especially early in would be a live underdog with an outside chance.

    Foreman was way (to mismatch proportions) wat too slow, way too wild and way too wide open. Aj would treat foreman like wlad would but remove the punchers chance wlad lends to foreman

    Foreman slaughters him, the oldman Foreman and A.J. might be close which says a whole lot about A.J.

    Prime Foreman I'd say would be slight fav against this Joshua 60/40 type. Old Foreman has very little chance...

    Some people's replies just show how much historical bias is shown....

    Joshua would get absolutely wiped by most of these fantasy match ups that people are throwing up. Lewis would outbox him, and do so with ease. Tyson would KO him early, and Foreman would KO him whenever he pleases.

    Doesn't matter, George gets 3x history bias boost... This lets him destroy him without even touching a ped....

    70s George toys with him, 90s George murders him. Even the current George could possibly take UD win.

    Foreman of 70's losing to J.Young and really Lyle( saved by the bell) would be at a disadvantage being outsized and SKILLED bc Joshua would pulverize him in the same situation.

    Foreman got out boxed by tall guys like Shultz and even nearly lost to Stewart and Morrison did win who actually did have poor stamina.He was hard to K.o so really the big question is not if but how Joshua would win ...either clear straight UD or TKo which is very plausible for such a huge /great finisher that would not let up on Foreman.

    MAYBE if the match took place when Joshua was under 15 fights in than its exciting...now? Well its pretty clear who would be the favorite and its not foreman here.Well at least the boxing community is shifting slightly to opening their eyes in contrast to just as much as 3 years ago......theres hope that boxing can be saved and not undermined by the notion of "THAT GUY FOUGHT IN THAT ERA SO HES BETTER" !

    looking at the fighters themselves i dont even think foreman would like his chances here ..hes already stated ( and hes right) fighters are bigger and stronger along with smarter today....come on ppl let it go....lol
