Anthony Joshua vs Lennox Lewis - Clash of the British Punchers

I'm really interested how you had looked if you had get these punches from Ruiz Jr.
You might laugh at Ruiz Jr. visual image but he really IS skilled, does beat hard and does have fast hands.

That's not a big shame to get partially debilitated by punches from Ruiz Jr.

 

Lewis knocks him sparks out.

 

I'm not a heavyweight champ.

Plenty of fighters have taken worse beatings and not quit. I don't even begrudge him quitting, he came back for the rematch, but he still quit and demonstrated a lack of heart when things aren't going his way.

 

You are clearly uneducated in basic human physiology.

Bellew stepped onto the scales versus Haye in the second bout at 210lbs. He had a "dad bod", carrying plenty of fat. He had absolutely no visible hint of abdominals. He had zero visible muscular separation.

When you need to be carrying that amount of fat to be 210lbs, you are not a big guy. Usyk, who walks around with borderline visible abdominals at 220, is a much bigger man.

Why is it so hard for you to wrap your head around that? You're a failed cruiserweight with a dad bod who was also probably a natural middleweight. It makes me laugh when you throw your weight around the forum challenging users to fights when you think that Tony Bellew is an impressive physical specimen. He's a good boxer and a tough guy, but he's not physically impressive whatsoever.

 

Lewis probably but I wouldn't completely write off Joshua because they are two massive and strong punchers, and any punch from both of them could decide the winner, although of course I favor Lewis ...

 

I suspect that you might be more glad with A.J if he had been turned into some thing like Dadashev vs Subriel Matias.
For sure. Also he even was not down and still he didn't lasted long in this world after this fight.

I might list you some fights where fighter wasn't down even for a count and had died after this fight. If death is cool stuff to entertain fans till enough high level. There is not only this Dadashev. I might list some amateur fights from western countries too.
U really worship death in the ring or permanent damages till end of life?

 

Lewis was overweight and 37 years old when he beat a prime Vitali though

 

The most interesting thing is that not likely Vitali cares about any post here and boxing fans opinions.

He continued to collect nice paychecks with boxing fights when he was 39, 40 and had good check when he was 41.
Pro boxing is a business.
They are business persons like in all businesses. Nothing different.
You might think that Vitali was overrated and maybe even hate him cos he is from EE.
Vitali fans might post that Lewis had ducked to do rematch he initially had agreed to do.

This is fun for us.
While so called 0-1 pro boxer in Conor had get xx xxx xxx digits paycheck for his pro boxing debut fight. YT star xxx xxx paycheck for boxing fight vs a wrestler. Believe me, this was more than a lot Olympic champions had get for their pro debut, 2nd or 3 rd pro fight.
Pro boxing is a business. Guys in rare cases as so scared like fans love to insist and post comments. This is job and business.
Boxing is fighting and boxing fans are most likely worst fans in the world.
Indirectly they demand undefeated fights records and from boxer to perform at equal level and be in the same shape/ experience level when he was 18 and the same when he is 38.





In this fight he was better but this for me does not matter so much as matters for Lewis fans.
For you also A.J is better than Ruiz just because he had rematch vs A.J.
Imagine if A.J did not had clause and rematch vs Ruiz did not had happened?
Or if Ruiz had retired after this 1 st fight, then he might be looked like Lewis vs Vitali : 1-0 and all might be cool.

 

Sure buddy, because AJ quit I want to see him die in the ring?

He quit because he was getting beat up and had no answers, not because he was on the verge of death. I don't care that he quit, but he still did it, and it still means something about his heart when things aren't going his way.

We are comparing him to Lewis here, it's. a valid point about how he handles himself when he's struggling.

 

Lewis alao took Vitali on short notice and knew nothing about him whereas Vitali had been studying Lewis's style for years before the fight happened. If they both fought in there prime Lewis honestly would have beaten him more convincingly. But Vitali always would have given him problems no doubt

 

I think that yes. Western ppl heads are more suitable to bear punching so yeah.

 

This, people are completely underrating AJ here. The thing with Lewis is, if his jab and holding tactics didn’t work he’d go with plan B, his power. This is where it would get dangerous for both men because I really don’t think either guy could take each other’s best shots. 50/50

 

I see it almost exactly the same way. Folk saying Joshua gets blasted out in 2 rounds are dreaming.

 

Never in a month of Sundays As the saying goes Lennox would destroy the poser

 

Lucky punch Ko's All Lennox own fault Look what happened in the rematches when he was focused & not making movies
