    You haven't answered my question,how many rounds did Mavrovic win?

    To answer yours, its entirely possible that Mavrovic would give AJ a good nights work,Parker went the distance with Joshua,I doubt he would with Lewis.

    If you win a fight clearly without any doubts, I don't see how you are struggling?

    If Steward was up against Joshua he would be losing a lot of sleep.

    Ive posted several breakdowns of this match and future career even way back in 2015 how Joshua would go beyond Lennox on another site to be scoffed at....ppl are realizing it now though.

    You can win every round in a fight yet go through hell to do so, Lewis stated it was one of his hardest bouts. He laboured to victory and looked very average doing so. This was a Lewis in the prime of his career.

    Parker would be just as competitive for Lewis IMO.

    So he basically won every round,yes?
    Bottom line
    A whitewash /shut out does not ="struggling".

    Yes but my point is true, you can with every round yet still labour to victory.

    Bottom line, Lewis looked very poor and laboured against a 215lb average fighter. I don't think AJ would have looked that poor against such competition.

    We will see how his career pans out but AJ is on a brilliant run thus far.
