yessir. Check the AviA fellow man of cultureJulian Jackson was that dude.
Edit: The knockout at 1:15 in this video is one of my all time favorite KO's. Up there with Hearns knocking the soul out of Duran.

And, for folks talking about the training GGG has, Aaron has literally trained to tackle guys to the ground. I hope GGG has a ground game because boxing won’t mean much there.

It also depends where they fight.
In a close-quarter environment gotta go with AD.
In an open area? The entire world is GGG’s ring.

Aaron would have to have some wrestling. Because just being big and having someone on the ground won't win you any fights.
If he's going to hold him down until the cops come, or until someone breaks it up, cool, he 'wins'.
But if he's fighting to kill someone he has to have some form of training on the ground.
So him being big and taking GGG is already a lot of assumptions.
If he tackles GGG and is on top, first of all he needs to know where to center his hips to keep GGG pinned to the ground. He needs to know where to put his knees to keep GGG pinned to the ground and potentially keep GGG from throwing punches off his back. GGG isn't just going to lay there like a dead fish. If he turns and bucks his hips he's not going to buck him off but during that buck is he going to get his hands into position to get himself back up, are they both going to be sitting and trading punches.... In the NFL once the player goes down, the play is done. That don't have to hold them there or pin them.
Suppose GGG is on his back. A ground and pound ain't as easy as it looks. Especially with no gloves. GGG is going to cage up so Aaron isnt going to get clean unanswered punches. Sure Arron can definitely break through the cage, but if he doesn't, what then?
If he gets GGGs back do you really think he's going to do a single or double leg body lock? Another thing that isn't as easy as it looks and both drain energy. So if he manages to lock up GGG so he can't just stand up....GGG keeps the chin tucked, what is Aaron going to do? He doesn't know bjj, what submission is he going to do, how is he going to choke him out or submit him?
GGG can throw short punches. Dozens of them, and they are not only going to hurt, but be effective.
We know ggg's footwork is good, chin is strong and his fist are furious. With the football player there's a lot of what ifs.

More overrating of football players. As someone who played football through college and play fought with multiple 300lbers when I was under 200, they are not that damn invincible. If they get hit hard enough they will go down and most lack technique to even get close enough. Donald has a chance but It truly depends on the space on an open street he won’t touch GGG. GGG was an Olympic boxer who could move before he became the puncher boxer he ended up as. He would just circle and jab Donald until even he would get tired.

Graham is my favorite KO from him, but his KO of Drayton has got to be one of the very best reactions from a fighter knocking another fighter out.

One shot to donalds kidney or liver and there’ll be slow singing and flower bringing.
