    Utter gibberish. Mercer was known for being inconsistent so picking him at his worst is you being dishonest.
    Also Lewis beat him in a competitive fight. thinking otherwise tells me either you haven't seen the fight or were swayed by the bias commentary...either way your opinion is not an informed one.

    Lennox Lewis was an elite world class HW, Joshua is not.
    He seemed to have hope early on but not lately.
    His only shot is to bum rush Usyk and we don't know if his stamina can sustain that.
    Lewis is a better boxer, more power, better jab, left/right hook, uppercut by far and
    much better one punch right hand.

    AJ does not do a single thing better than Lennox. Not one.

    He has faster legs and hands from point A to B. If you put them on an athletics track AJ would blitz Lewis in any race from 400 metres downwards with ease. He can jump higher and further. In short AJ is a better athlete than Lewis and better athlete than most. If he was not a boxer you could imagine him as a footballer, Decathlete and Rugby player. Not saying he is a better fighter than Lennox because that is a different thing all together coming down to skills. AJ may even before more naturally stronger which is saying something as Lewis is a really strong man and both generate immense power but Lewis fighting instincts are better honed.

    Nah Lewis is naturally stronger. Strength and overpowering his opponents was something Lewis excelled at. Joshua is strong, but he doesn't know how to use it to his advantage anyway.

    I think Lewis is stronger than AJ but yes Joshua does have the faster feet.

    Both born really naturally strong men but the pure African power of AJ may be more than Lewis Afro-Carribean power but either way marginal due to genetics. We must never forget AJ is a freak in that someone who took up boxing late like AJ should never have achieved what he has.

    Africa is quite diverse genetically. There are hundreds and possibly thousands of ethnicities and in those ethnicities genetics still doesn't create a line between one ethnicity and the next. For all you know Lewis's family tree have naturally stronger men. Read a book without any pictures in it.

    You have no idea who's naturally stronger. But Lewis has the greater feats of strength.

    You got any video to show that ?

    To be authentic, it should be video of each man pressing the bench in the ring.

    If you look at a young Lennox, pre-dreadlocks Lennox... he had much faster feet than AJ.

    Lewis has better power than AJ and is clearly the naturally the stronger man. Joshua as a HGH gut without the gear he'd be a skinnier guy.
    Also you implying that pure African is somehow stronger than Afro-Caribbean which is racist nonsense not based on anything other than your own deluded projection. Let me give you an example as you're a complete simpleton. Who wins more 100m races? I'll give you a clue you testicle....it ain't Africans it's Jamaicans....So going off genetics and reality I've just proven again what a complete bellend you are.....

    Joshua has no advantages in skillset in any way shape or form. He’s a lesser fighter

    Thats Olu for you. Spouting racist nonesense. Lewis being a better fighter has nothing to do with genetics

    I know I just can't help clowning him using his own flawed logic. Lewis is just higher quality without the mental frailty and marketing that Joshua has.
