    Lewis had a better chin than AJ does, he took Bruno`s shots very well.

    He`d beat all the WBO champs during the 90`s, I don`t know if Lewis bothered with the WBO title during the 90`s.

    He may well have albeit AJ has never been sparked out cold or knocked senseless and dropped by single shots like Lewis was twice. But that's neither here nor there because if AJ detonated a full power bomb on Lewis' mandible section and landed right he'd lay him out too.

    Old Larry Holmes
    Ray Mercer
    Old Foreman would ko him
    Razor Ruddock
    Pre and post prison Tyson
    Holyfield
    Tua
    Morrison catches him with a left hook
    Lewis
    Bowe
    Golota
    Ibeabuchi
    Bruno
    Mccall
    Both klitschko brothers

    I was overrating him, more like top 20

    The Joshua that beat Wlad holds his own in any era.

    The 10 year span of 'the 90,s ' is a bit stretched to make an educated guess imho .

    I would e.g. see the today version of aj competitive against the young and unexperienced 1990 version of lennox lewis but without a chance against the 98 version of him .

    I also see aj loosing against the 1991 pre prison mike tyson but win against the far past his prime 1999 version of mike tyson .

    So, when in the 90,s ?

    Lewis, Holyfield, bowe beat him
    Comfortably and I’d fancy tua, Mercer,
    Klit bros and Tyson to also beat him . He may struggle with McCall as his chin was iron. The others after this are 50/50

    He’s trying to suppress his true feelings for him by constantly putting him down.

    Nah, man. Many of those aren't better. Some not even close despite having a shot to beat him.

    Lewis lost to McCall who really was nothing special at all besides his chin. I'd argue Ruiz is more talented than McCall. No one says McCall is even close to Lewis. This is a case of judging a fighter based on his worse day (Ruiz fight).
