Is AJ Closer To Lennox Or Frank Bruno?

Audley was nowhere near AJ`s level, a number of AJ`s opponents would have destroyed Audley.

 

It's not that Audley and Joshua are on equal levels. It's that Joshua is closer to Audley than Bruno for the reasons I mentioned.

Hell, an undefeated 15-0 Audley may have won the title if he fought Charles Martin, too.

Bruno would've killed to fight Charles Martin for the title, and not Tyson and Lewis.

 

Lewis...The Guy who looked like an orthodox version of the man who walks this Earth like a god.

 

hard to say. he's certainly better than Frank and certainly worse than Lennox. maybe about halfway between, honestly...

 

I'd say he's closest to Primo Carnera.

 

I`d say Carnera wouldn`t have landed a shot on Usyk.

 

I think i remember you saying something idiotic like Hrgovic looking better than Lewis and Ali

That statement aged like absolute crap. Recent events should let you know the eye test isn't everything.

Practically every boxing historian knows Lewis was great, whether they think he's overrated or not. Your boxing knowledge is limited and honestly not trust worthy

 

I'd say you're in fantasy land.

 

he is better puncher than Carnera
but same level of hype job
& marketed well

 

WTF?

 

He`s on another planet to Carnera.

 

AJ is between a very good Bruno and an ATG Lennox. He does not have the mental strength or intelligence of Lennox. He does not have all the Lewis skills but he is actually more skilled than Lennox was pre-Steward. Lennox had a way of understanding the best way to successfully sort of sell out on his defense for high risk/high reward assaults on his opponents when things weren't working for him. That's a very underrated ability in a champion. For the times when it's just not going to afford you a decision victory opportunity, when it is simply not going to go your way unless you can do dramatic work, Lennox knew how to step in that azz and force wins to happen. It's fair to say some of that was having Steward directly in the corner to motivate it or snap him into it but Steward could try to do that for guys who had the physical tools like a Jermain Taylor who couldn't mentally execute on that advice, despite being physically capable. Lennox could. He had analytical ability on how to deliver risky when delivering relatively safely was a failure. It's possible you can't train that into a guy. It's not just a guts thing-which AJ has shown plenty of-but a gear-shifting and intellect thing.

 

Over Bruno, but WAY WAY under Lewis. Can that be the answer?

 

Probably a little bit, maybe (but Carnera had 72 KO's in 89 wins). Check it out

I think Joshua would be good at panto. Last weekend's performance in the form of his post-fight antics and soliloquy really was something to behold; it was like the banquet scene in Macbeth where Macbeth rants and raves at Banquo's ghost which is visible to him but not the other guests.
