Prime Lennox Lewis vs Anthony Joshua.

There were a lot of title holder in that time period and not all of them superior to Joshua

 

Why the insults?

Is that your go-to line is it? "I was stronger at 40 than I was in my 20's", because you use it often don't ya. Well, you were doing something wrong or differently (living or training) in your mid to late 20's through to your early to mid 30's. Or just upped your dosage when you got older. Maybe when you felt a dip in your mid to late 30's eh? About the same the same age Lewis was when he got stronger!? lol.

Lennox Lewis did NOT get stronger in his mid to late 30's. Nobody does. Unless there were living majorly wrong or training incorrectly or not at all in their prime years. Joshua isn't.

Lewis gained weight around the age of 29-30 when he hooked up with Manny Steward who put him on an intensive weights program for a short period for iirc the only time in his career. He also gained weight naturally with age. Steward also greatly improved his balance and he immediately looked sturdier on his legs from then on. So yeah he became and appeared stronger from then. He 'maintained' that condition until around what, 34 maybe 35 before we seen some slippage, but he didn't get stronger. Definitely not after 35. His actual physical peak as a human was around 1992-97. His fighting peak, more because of circumstance was from '97 until 2000.

Taking that into account, Joshua has hit his physical prime already and as maybe 5-6 year left of it. Though with a more explosive fighting style and training methods compared to Lewis and a different body type, I think he'll show signs of slowing quicker than Lewis did.

I don't see Joshua getting physically stronger as a human from now. He already focused on strength and bulked up to the point it was detrimental to him in a boxing ring. What he'll gain is experience and hopefully some more ring iq and technique from here on.

Your whole post was to call me foolish, discredit me and shot your party line out, then call me a tool to boot. When the 2 points you made to do it are not only null and void but, completely incorrect. And you're over 40. FFS gadge. Must try harder. Or think before speaking. Peace!

 

Now who's deflecting?

Yeah physical prime is different for everyone. In that some hit it in their early 20's, some mid 20's and some late 20's. But nobodies physical prime lasts beyond their mid 30's. Easy enough for you.

Btw you're not even 30 yet and you wanna tell me about people's physical primes!? No offence but you don't sound like you know your arse from your elbow. On this or hw boxing.

Anyway if you need more clarity see my post above to 'stronger at 40'. I'm out. Unless you name me one thing better about Joshua than Lewis? I can and i'll share if you do. Or have you got nothing to share?

 

He looked better in the rematch though.

 

AJ`s jab is more powerful and he throws more combo`s off the jab too.

 

AJ has a better defense, he`s harder to hit with hooks because his right glove is held higher than Lewis`s was.

 

AJ`s combo`s are brilliant compared to Gramnt`s and his counter punching is much better, he would have destroyed Grant, so would Povetkin.

 

Joshua.

 

Prime Lennox 3 rds

 

This is easy. Lennox is a massive favorite, and wins most of the time. But occasionally AJ gets him. Obviously with his 2 losses, that could happen. But Lewis big favorite.

 

Lol these threads go on here? Is AJ already considered a great technical polished boxer? His resume already stacks up? Lewis is a top 10 heavy weight of all time. This is a mismatch

 

Joshua is very stiff plus Joshua`s problem is he hardly uses his jab in comparison to Lewis. This example shows the Povetkin fight but he threw even less in the Parker fight.

Lewis wins.

 

Watch the stiffness of AJ and the fluidity of Lewis's jab and movement against same sized and same styled opponents,

I watched real close, I saw slight differences in style and some similarities. Overall they are equal.

AJ always keeps hes guard up, Lennox drops his too often... and his opponent is no where near as fast or explosive as Povetkin is to capitalise on a dropped guard.

Their movement is identical, their position perhaps in favour of Lennox, but MOVEMENT is virtually the same.

Lennox is more loose with his jab, and more natural... but AJ's jab is more precise, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with a stiff jab.

Overall I'll give the edge on Jab effectiveness to Lennox, but AJ takes the cake on combinations and crispness.

Please dont come here loving up lennox and forget to show objectivity.

The other poster was going on as if Lennox movement was LEVELS beyond AJ like Muhammed ALI... GFTO.

Just pure sucking of Lennox ****.

As it stands, Lennox is a GOAT. Id still back AJ as live underdog v Lennox... everyone got a plan till they get punched in the face.

Mike tyson couldnt reach lennox... AJ would reach lennox and land.
