    The Lewis that barely hung on to his belt via 6 round stoppage over Vitali Klitschko.. Verse AJ who struggled against a ageing wlad Klitschko? Would this be AJ s greatest moment, beating the old lion who had dominated the division? Or could Lewis pull the win out of the bag, as he did against vitali?
    Passing of the torch? Or Lewis cementing his legacy with a win over the next young brit?

    Lewis had ring iq and true one punch power. I don't think AJ is remotely as durable as VK. Lewis stops him !

    Lewis. Proven ATG vs an up and coming untested contender with limited ability and stamina.

    Lennox was too experienced at that point. And his right hand not many guys could take.

    I have to agree with you guys, that Lewis finds a way to win. But I believe that AJ would probably give this lennox a few shaky moments. AJ would want it more than Lewis who was basically almost retired. He may hurt Lewis and have early moments of glory, but Lewis somehow finds the punch to drop Joshua. And unlike wlad, lennox finishes him.

    Lennox could hit as hard as Wlad, and he was the same size as both Wlad and AJ

    It would be a rough battle (Lewis not at his best), but if Lennox manages to drop AJ like Wlad he finishes him shortly thereafter. AJ needs too much time to recover when he's hurt and Lewis would do everything to finish him off, Lennox was dirty and very aggressive when he wanted.

    He was big guy, if he had been rocked by AJ and then given a chance he would be brutal with him. Lewis would need to get him out of there.

    worst Lennox beat the better, and prime, Klitschko that night inside 6.

    Primer Joshua struggled against the worse Klitschko in his worst form ever.


    Obviously the K bros are each different fighters, but remind me why this thread has been started?

    To give the old brain cells a bit of work Herol, me old sparrow. And like you said there both different people, so you can't really base a result on that. Lewis beats one Klitschko so Lewis definitely beats someone who beat another Klitschko??

    there is that, but its the differene between ATG and eurolevel, if we are going to ask thsi then why not ask Dillan Whyte or Del boy versus Lennox too.

    But I guess AJ is the current favour of the month

    Well to a degree your right, he is current and its to get a idea how he may have coped against a great but ageing Lewis. He came back to beat a over the hill wlad, so could he do something similar to Lewis

    And I'm definitely not saying wlad is greater than Lewis!
