The question is, what era does Joshua-Ali fight in? In Ali's era, training and vitamins weren't as good as they are today (Joshua era). The human body is taken care of differently now and trainers/nutrionists know much more than they did back then.
Tough question but i think Ali loses a decent amount of fights against certain HW. That staying on the ropes crap wouldn't work today
Ali would whip AJ while eating a pizza between wounds.
Joshua would be a ring card girl in Ali's era....LOL

Anthony 'I'm so humble' Joshua should not be compared to Ali.
Joshua is a modern day HW - a physically enhanced specimen who has been invested in and turned into a boxing machine with zero personality because any personality he DID have has been coached out of him by PR specialists.
Ali was a much more naturally gifted boxer, with an real personality during a period in history that will never return, it is totally naive to think that the two are comparable in any way, shape or form.
I guess you could compare Ali to Floyd in some ways, except Floyd tries to sound insightful and witty...despite being ******ed.

Joshua doesn't have an inch of Ali's charisma or showmanship, nor his accomplishments; His win over Klit was great, but the guy was still 41 years old with a whole lot of milage on him. Let's see how well he does against other top players before comparing him with one of the greatest of all time.

Hell no. Ali when he was Cassius Clay had the stamina, speed and footwork that would bewilder today's heavyweights. Even Joshua.
Joshua would have been stretched out by Tyson, Holmes, Holyfield, Lewis etc
