    No he's not trash. Lennox Lewis was one punch sparked out cold by a builder and a crack addict. Embarrassing

    Mike Tyson fought a bunch of binmen and was KO'd by Buster Doogles, Danny Williams, Kevin McBride

    All the rose-tinted goggle wearing crybabies need to post in the Classic and stop flooding this forum with their copium and big baba tears

    And what happened in those rematches ? Lewis dominated. Lewis Rahman 2 is considered one of his best performances and that came after getting knocked spark out. That is one of the best versions of Lewis I've ever seen. Different breed. Tysons resume still craps on the bodybuilders, and had joshua fought the same competition he would have more losses. Not to mention he looked crap in other performances that he won.

    you really cannot be serious with this, aj has no ring iq. It's terrible, and he has all that physical talent. But keep trying to hype this fraud up. This was supposed to be the 3rd best guy in the entire division right ? He'll be taking his 5th loss soon and not even half the wear and tear Mike Tyson had

    Wow he KO'd a glass-jawed Rahman and crack addict McCall who was bawling his eyes out and literally had a nervous breakdown during his ring walk

    Lewis would've been sparked out by just one of those Dubois right hands so what are you even talking about

    These modern HWs are 250-270lb athletic, fast and coordinated murderous punching man mountains Lewis' chin ain't surviving their bombs

    Tyson's resume is garbage :lol:

    And all those HWs in your precious 90s were walking PED factories

    Imagine posting on a music or film forum and spending all your time on them crying big baba tears about how much better music and film was in previous eras :facepalm:

    Take the baba tears to the Classic >>>>

    Not bad maybe, but not particularly stirring or memorable either. 2 of those fighters were KO'd in 1 by the same Wilder whose resume you criticized in your previous sentence, & Ruiz is mainly notable b/c he unexpectedly flattened Joshua the 1st time.

    This, basically.

    He was good enough to be a decent contender & maybe titleholder, but he wouldn't be a particularly spectacular standout.

    Dubois the same guy who quit against a slow as molasses Joyce, Got dropped 3 times by Kevin Learrna only to get a suspicious stoppage ? Struggled with slow obese Jarell Miller ? Funny how that works

    Lewis would've legally murdered Dubois at all ranges

    Nobody except Usyk has the argument for a superior resume to Mike Tyson. If you tell me Furys or ajs list of wins is comparable then it's clear you're just trolling and argument just for the sake of it. Give me their top 7 wins. I'm not the thread starter, but the topic is current aj in the 90s. He gets murked at least 6 times before he retires

    Injured Dubois in both fights and he's obviously improved

    Larry Holmes was sparked out early twice in the amateurs

    Lewis knocked out in the amateurs too

    Yes, a 330lb walking PED factory. You know how like the 90s was literally full of walking PED factories

    Dubois detonates ONE right hand bomb.. just one.. on Lewis' mandible and Lewis gets spread-eagled again 100%

    So they're a bunch of Michael Grants & Andrew Golotas, then?

    No, Grant was terrible, Golota was skilled but he was a mental case.

    I'm not interested in all these boxing nostaligists constant crying of baba tears about the good old days. We have a Classic forum for a reason

    It is so incredibly tedious

    Bringing up the amateurs to judge a pro career lol joke. Cmon serge u know it's a moot point

    Dubois has about the same chance than any other big punchers Lewis fought like Briggs, Tua, Morrison, Golota, all of whom got dominated despite landing on his chin . His career is nowhere near over and I can guarantee he retires with triple the losses.

    Jarell Miller sucks I don't care what kind of PEDs he's on. Lewis would demolish Dubois inside 4.

    No, they were young in the amateurs like Dubois was in the pros

    Tyson and Tua were dwarfs compared to Lewis and were sitting ducks for his length. Morrison glass-jawed, Briggs lost to Botha and a 500 y/o Foreman

    And guess what, to confirm my point, most of those mentioned were walking PED factories

    Lewis never fought any 330lb walking PED factories

    I'd favour Lewis vs Miller too but Dubois lands one flush right hand bomb on Lewis' chin and Lewis is out cold again

    That's all irrelevant though. Tua still landed with leaping left hooks. Rahman still landed flush in the rematch. Briggs landed flush. Lewis still won ?? But how ? You overblow the chin problem.

    Dubois in the pros got stopped by Joyce fact. Never got it back, almost lost to Lerena in a dodgy stoppage. Miller is just lol he has slow feet. He can't cut the ring, he telegraph the living hell out of his shots, Miller is a punching bag the PEDs only make him durable or perhaps thats just the obesity. Miller is 6 foot 3 he's just fat as hell. They would put a beating on Dubois you keep saying if he lands but Dubois is the one has been hurt and put on shaky legs more times in less fights than any of the aforementioned

    Andrew Golata would've beat AJ's nuts into peanut butter.

    Of course he would survive. He’d be one of the best fighters around too
