    Joshua humiliated and stopped in 7. A bit like the Cleveland Williams, but AJ would probably hang in there a bit longer.

    The end would be consummate, shattering for AJ.

    It’d be stopped in the 7th you think? I think Joshua was as good as Lyle, Norton and M Foster / Bonavena almost positive he’d last later and win against some versions of Ali.

    Ali was nearly destroyed by Cooper in his prime. What would AJ do to him?

    I have total respect for your views, my friend.

    Has Joshua ever been as good a fighter as Ron Lyle? I mean in terms of things like heart (Lyle literally scraped himself off the canvas to knock the hell out of Shavers and...well, there's that Foreman fight).

    It's just my view, but I see AJ getting stopped by Lyle. AJ didn't have that kind of heart.

    Just me.
