    Are you taking the pee? Firstly AJ has had 22 fights, how many fights had Lewis had by the time he fought all of those?

    Answer that simple question and then we can talk, how many fight had Lewis had by the time he fought all of those?

    And keeping in mind Wilder has had 40 professional fights and fought who? Old man Ortiz and you're digging out Joshua?



    AJ's last 4 fights, Klitschko, Takam, Parker, Povetkin

    Wilders last 4 fights, Arreola, Washington, Stiverne, Ortiz.


    You very rarely reply because once you get put back in your box you vanish again, you pop up spill a load of old gash and sign out.

    You really are one of the worst posters on this site, the absolute drivel that spills out of you is genuinely clueless and embarrassing.

    Tyson was top of your list.. Lewis was 39-2-1 when he fought Tyson.

    Joshua 22-0, enough said, sign out and don't come back you moron.

    Lewis an Olympic Gold medal winner like Joshua. Lewis didn't defend/win a world title until his 23rd fight and he was handed it, he didn't win it in the ring, he picked it out of a bin, AJ won his after 16.

    After 23 fights Lewis' most notable wins.. Gary Mason, Tyrell Biggs, Razor Ruddock,

    After 22 fights AJ's most notable wins.. Whyte, Klitschko, Parker, Povetkin.



    Lewis is a little bitter and worried because at this rate Joshua is putting his achievements to the sword.

    To be fair to Lewis had he had his way his 23rd fight would of been against Bowe for the undisputed heavyweight title. It's not like Lewis didn't have ambition, he was just blatantly ducked by Bowe. Some would say just like Joshua is being ducked now by Wilder.

    Yeah, So Lewis of all people should understand that sometimes fights don't happen for all sorts of reasons.

    Lewis can't keep laying the blame at Joshua's door, somebody far more successful than Lewis.. Mayweather has said Wilder should know his place and should basically accept what he is offered and take the short end, like he did against Oscar..

    I understand they go to Lewis for opinion or quotes about AJ but he comes across as so bitter about how he is regarded, liked, loved and remembered and the facts like somebody like Bruno is still far more loved and adored than him.

    Now Joshua is being loved and adored like Bruno and Lewis does not understand how or why.

    Also he doesn't want AJ overshadowing his own achievements and I believe Lewis feels it's only Wilder who could possibly halt AJ's dominance.

    Your boy has ducked, and is continuing to duck, Deontay Wilder.

    Facts. Don't ask me, ask Barry Hearn:

    "They [Wilder's team] wanted the fight straight away. That's my feeling. They wanted to cash in on Deontay Wilder straight away. It's business crazy, and Shelley knows better than that".

    Quack, quack, quack.

    The only people worth a damn he hasn't faced are Wilder and Ortiz. He's fought pretty much everyone else he can

    How can the same people who label AJ as a bum, fraud, robot etc... then try and compare him with Lewis?

    AJ is still at the beginning of his career. Give it a decade at least before trying to compare him to an ATG.

    Lewis fought Tyson in his 43rd fight, Holyfield in his 36th and 37th, Mercer in his 30th, Golota in his 33rd, Rahman in his 41st and 42nd and Botha in his 39th fight.

    AJ has just 22 fights. So how can you compare the opponents that Lewis faced 20 fights later than AJ's current record, when AJ is halfway Lewis' career and future is still ahead of him.

    In his 18th fight AJ fought Wladimir Klitschko 64-4 ATG for IBF and WBA World Heavyweight Title, while Lewis in his 18th fight fought Tyrell Biggs on Holyfield - Cooper undercard, in his 20th fight he was still fighting for British and Commonwealth titles and in his 21st fight fought Mike Dixon who had a record of 10 wins and 5 losses.

    22 fights in Lennox Lewis resume consisted of:

    Donovan Ruddick
    Gary Mason
    Tyrell Biggs
    Glen McCrory
    Ossie Ocasio

    Not bad for that amount of fights tbf but Joshua's. Is miles better. So yeah, the two biggest fights are a problem to make and they are tied up with each other currently but Joshua has beaten three guys ranked top five when he fought then in Wlad, Parker, Povetkin, another who would get their in Whyte and signed to fight a guy who wasn't far of in Pulev. He's unified 3 belts and the other big fights will get made at somepoint.

    Anyone complaining at how fast Joshua is moving is just silly imo.

    come on, hes 29 and got the former champ and a then current champ on his resume, and thats not including martin (in fairness who would include him)

    WIlder has nothing world class bar the younger Stiverne, who is not a stellar example.

    Granted they are not poles apart but joshua, with half the fights, is ahead at same stage of career.

    Against these facts you have the opinion that hes ducked wilder..

    Out of the top HWs Joshua hasn't fought Windmill (whose demands seem unrealistic and whose management are utterly useless) , Fury (just come back) and possibly Ortiz (now getting into his 60's)

    He's faced everyone else.

    For relatively young champ he has very good resume and only haters jealous of his money and six pack say otherwise imho.

    Nope, not ducking anybody, you only have to look at each fighters resumes and you'll see who is fighting the far tougher opposition, anyway..

    "Our Boy"

    22 fights, 2 unification fights, 3 of the 4 major belts, fills STADIUMS, sells huge numbers of PPV's and a resume far superior to "your boy".


    "Your Boy"

    40 fights, 0 unification fights, 1 belt, 0 PPV fights, can't even sell out a 20k Arena against Fury (10k of tickets left, go buy one) and a resume that is actually embarrassing and was called a "PROSPECT" after 33 FIGHTS by his own Promoter..


    Facts. Don't believe me ask Shirley Winkle:

    “Look, (Wilder) is a baby winning the title. It was his first title fight, they'll be a time for unification, they'll be a time for all those things, he could go and Povetkin (the No. 2 contender) in Russia and make $10 million,” Finkel said to the Tuscaloosa News. “It's not the right thing yet. Give him a couple of fights, maybe bring something back to Alabama. Let him develop just like any other athlete. They don't take someone who is a great college prospect and throw him right in. And this kid is a great prospect.”


    That was said after 33 fights, let that sink in, 33 fights.. A WBC title, 33 professional fights and apparently he is a "Prospect". What a bunch Effing clowns.

    Now read that again and admit you are talking utter cobblers and apologise to "Our Boy"
