Bigger puncher: AJ or Lennox Lewis?

Lennox Lewis average weight since first Championship fight: 244.5 lbs

Lewis opposition average weight since first Championship fight: 234 lbs

Anthony Joshua average weight since first Championship fight: 246.5 lbs

Joshuas opposition average weight since first Championship fight: 244 lbs

Lewis outweighted his opposition more and both had an almost identical KO ratio at 63/64%

 

Maybe we should take Levi Billups as example then?

 

I agree

 

What does body fat have to do with this? Better era? Troll confirmed.

 

Lewis hit a little harder but AJ is a more skilled all around fighter....LL knew how to use his size better.

 

I’m not really sure why ppl are so sold on Wlad’s power, he have power but it’s not out of this world like some of you try to say.

btw I have a training partner that flew to Germany and did a full training camp with Wlad (long time ago). Although he got beat up he was never stopped or dropped, actually got a bonus because of it. I know another Top 10 guy that was sent home because he didn’t make it that camp…
Wlad is not the strongest puncher he sparred with according to this guy.

 

Similar levels of raw power but Lewis was the better overall puncher. I’ll take him in this one.

 

Yes. Bigger men harder to beat. Better era. 90's sucked compared to today. Also way better skills out there today. Global world nowadays with instant access to film study everywhere.

 

Andy Ruiz disagrees with the benefits of lower fat percentage, 50% of the time...at least.

So would AJ agree in this particular instance.

 

I think it’s Lewis as he threw with more aggression and bad intentions, but maintained technique he had the better accuracy of the two of them as well.
Joshua is more cautious when he’s going for a finish, especially when he’s in with a higher quality opponent.
Lewis could go for the kill from the first bell and be relentless in his attacks. I think that came from his confidence in his abilities and his durability and chin. Lewis had amateur pedigree, Joshua didn’t.
Joshua has impressive power and some solid knockouts but I don’t think he’s ever thrown a punch that he put absolutely everything into.
Where Lewis did that in the majority of his fights.
I think the hardest punching heavyweight that came after Tyson was probably ike ‘the president’.

 

Lennox is a far better puncher than AJ. And he would have KO'd Wlad (No chin) quicker than Grant.
And Lennox did beat Vitali and was better than anyone active right now.
Lennox had a damn good chin (yeah I said it) he got knocked down twice and got up. In fact he had
a better chin than Iron Mike.

 

Lennox KOed better quality fighters than AJ. I think if you reverse resumes AJs KO percentage would be alot lower than what his KO ratio is at right now.

 

Lennox has punching power against proven opposition that were elite. Joshua doesn't. Its akin to questioning if one of the hardest punching welterweights today, Crawford, punches harder than Shane Mosley. Maybe, but against the mediocre competition he's faced thus far its hard to say he does.

In short until we proof to the contrary, Lennox > AJ.

 

LOL, Wlad is millions times better boxer than Grant ever was - far more skilled, had far better reflexes, defense, IQ, power AND chin as well.

And he got up from Rahman? LOL, WHAT? Have you ever saw that fight?

Your nuthugging of Lewis makes you look not the brightest person

 

I'm pretty sure AJ would have KOed old cruiserweight Ocasio, glass jawed Levi Billups, washed up Tucker, Akinwande and Zeljko Mavrovic - all of whom Lewis failed to stop.
