There is of course no way to know.

But Karpov was coming on strong in 1975. He had a very
different style than Fischer: he would put his opponents in
a positional squeeze, and often won by turning a small
advantage into an eventual endgame victory. He was
almost inhumanly accurate and patient. So Fischer might
have won, but I think it would have been hard.
