Anthony Joshua vs prime Ali, Lennox Lewis, Vitali Klitschko, George Foreman, Riddick Bowe

You can make a compelling argument for him beating Foreman, his conditioning is way better, his power perhaps comparable, he is more athletic, more explosive, quicker. I love George but think he is the most overrated fighter on these boards.

You can also make a compelling argument for him being starched quickly by Foreman...but I don't see it. Young George gives up a lot in this battle. He is wide to quick counters and picking him is reliant on him landing, and I'm not sure he would.

Ali befuddles AJ, beats him 11 times out of 10. I think Vitali is all wrong for him, engine, chin, blend of orthodox and unorthodox marauding style, likely stops AJ sometime after 8 after brutalising him.

Bowe can be hurt but won't be stopped and will stop AJ sometime late and I think Lewis takes AJ out early but would not be surprised if AJ did similar. Kid can bang.

Hey, I like putting cats amongst pigeons...

 

His best chance is against Vitali due to styles (that is, I imagine VK taking his time and giving Joshua some room), but even then, it's difficult to imagine Joshua either putting enough of a dent in VK or outlasting him. It probably ends with VK taking a mid-rounds TKO.

Lewis, Foreman and Bowe orchestrate their own brand of massacre.

Ali just takes the **** and beats him any way he wants to.

0-5

 

Joshua stands no chance vs Vitali. He gets beaten badly.
