    Come to think of it, comeback Foreman may have beat Tyson too.

    Joshua defeats the old Foreman in a similar way to Morrison, but there is a possibility that Joshua dominates during the fight like Moorer but still gets knocked out in the end...

    If we are talking about Old George from 1989-1992, then I go with George by stoppage.

    Joshua vs Usyk and Joshua vs Old Foreman have zero in common and are just ridiculously different style match ups and situations.

    It would resemble Foreman- Coezter. George would just set the kid up, the old man had timing. I don't think Joshua is gonna react well when he feels Foremans power.

    Fighting Usyk has nothing to do with the lack of skills Joshua showed. He is still slow and lumbering. His jab is non-existent. He can barely go to the body. He lacks any type of combinations. little Ring IQ. None of that changes whether he fights a bum or an elite fighter like Usyk.

    Cause AJ and Coezter are similar in what way? Why wouldn't it resemble Foreman-Morrison or Foreman-Stewart?

    You are wrong about nearly everything you said. Joshua is not elite but has a pretty good skillset across the board. He is a good heavyweight.

    Foreman beat two reigning champions and made two title defenses.

    Joshua beat three reigning champions and made seven successful title defenses.

    Frazier is a level above anyone AJ ever beat. Wlad doesn't count because he was old.

    Foreman is a legitimate top 10 HW all-time. AJ isn't close.

    Old Wlad would’ve destroyed Norton and Moorer, and might’ve beaten Frazier too. Definitely beats the Frazier do the rematch.

    This is about old Foreman though, his comeback resume doesn't touch AJ's
