I think Joshua would stop him.............brutally. Probably knock his nose off

If Joshua is even remotely in shape and trying to win, he beats Rocky 10 times out of 10 separate occasions. They are virtually 4-5 weight classes apart, and Rocky has probably the worst possible style to try and beat a guy Joshua's size. If Joshua was some feather fisted defensive fighter or a speedy technician, maybe he could pull something off. Problem isn't just the size, it's also the fact Joshua is a very heavy hitter with a strong jab, powerful uppercut, and would impose his huge size on Rocky on the front foot. Only an idiotic trainer would agree to this fight when their boxer is a short, tiny, aggressive swarmer who can only fight offensively on the front foot. Complete suicide. It's a ram trying to clash heads with a buffalo.

If Rocky's lucky he's stopped on his feet early without taking a savage beating or being knocked unconscious. Hard to even imagine Rocky winning by puncher's chance anymore than you can imagine Golovkin beating Joe Louis with a puncher's chance.

Would you use the same reasoning to say that Frazier would also lose to Joshua?
