    AJ is just not more complete than Lewis, I don't think anyone is as complete as Lewis apart from Vitali.

    Of course I know nothing.
    Only you do know anything.
    Technically complete fighter does not start to gas out after 5-20 attempts to throw 100% power punches, this is first answer here.
    A.J had gassed vs Pulev multiple time because he was " technically complete " fighter.
    If you gas after 3 rounds vs 39 y.o uncle Pulev this is good measurement stick.

    Also don't claim that Wlad was inferior vs A.J when he was young. Wlad was real gold medalist.
    Hometown gold medalist A.J , let's start with this. Campbell was real , A.J had get very questionable judges cards and was suspicious here.
    Skills. :p

    Exactly.

    I think he is. He hasn't showed the tactical savvy that Lewis did at his best, though.

    If you want to see someone actually gassing look no further than Wlad against Purrity and Brewster.

    I just don't see it. Lewis could fight on the inside better, he could jab and move better, his head movement is better, his jab was significantly more dynamic, he's more fluid and he has better ring iq. I just see Lewis as more well rounded

    For a 6'6 fighter at 240-250 lbs, I think he has great skill.

    I don't think Lewis had much in terms of head movement. Can't remember him pulling off pull counters like the AJ does, or put punches together as well for that. And his inside game wasn't much beyond a very dangerous uppercut, but even then I like AJ:s uppercut better overall.

    But better ring iq, yes. At least from what we seen from AJ so far. He turned into a great ring general, just like Wlad did. Lewis was more complete than Wlad, though.

    Aj is a better and more natural counter puncher, he pulled off a pull counter against Charles Martin too. But when both are in the pocket or boxing at range, Lewis has better head movement. Aj has a more powerful uppercut but Lewis's uppercut imo was better. He sets it up on the inside better but thats just my opinion. I can understand if you think Aj's uppercut is better

    In any case I think we can agree that AJ should count himself lucky if he in the end has had as good a carer as Lewis had.

    to be a bum yeah.
    BTW, don't dream, if Lewis had rematch vs Vitali he had been KOed out cold and no british cards had been needed here, therefore he retired.
    Brawe old cash cow BUM Lewis vs short notice replacement.
    I think Vitali should had kicked this BUM and only thing western fans had get how bummy he was.
    Lewis was beatable and worse than Wlad, Vitali. Mike or Holy.
    If Lewis had to fight vs A.J, if A.J will not had gas out, he had stopped Lewis cos A.J is better boxer.
    Do not dream that rude and crude Lewis was better than Mike or Holyfield.

    If idol had in the ring 20 y.o 250 lbs Mike instead of Mike he had in the ring, Lewis had get finished in distance.
    The same if he had get in the ring A.J in good night or Holyfield version in Lewis own size or Fury.

    Mediocre boxer Lewis if compare with Holy, Mike, Vitali or Wlad or Fury or A.J.
    Mediocrity.

    Lewis was bum who had lucky win cos cuts.
    Get this and if about kicking, kid, even Huck h2h had sent this bum to ICU cos Lewis was just boxer.

    Kicked ass, damn, Lewis was chinny like Wlad, not better boxer and therefore just cos he was from Canada and U.K he was better boxer for you.
    Sorry for me he was mediocrity.
    Mediocre boxer in weak era.

    Average in nearly all respects. Has some power but mainy club's away until the house red steps in . Doesn't seem a natural or confident in the ring . Looks the part but something is missing .trouble ahead I think .

    Era was so weak that Wlad got KO'd by leftovers from the 90s
