How good is Anthony Joshua in comparison to other British Boxers of the past?

I'm just not a fan of Joshua. He's not bad but he's not that good in my opinion! He's a big strong guy with a decently jab who can hit fairly hard but doesn't seem tibhave many boxing skills. Fury wouldn't school him and I think Wilders unorthodox style would beat him. When Parker tried to put it on him a couple of times he literally had no clue what to do and ran back with his left arm held out and look terrified, hence why the ref literally wouldn't let them fight that night.

 

Fury wouldn't school him? ?? Of course he would

 

I would compare Joshua to Bruno as they are so similar...Both very stiff,both flat footed,both have minimal head movement , both do that silly move their shoulders up and down thing,both with stamina issues down to their unnecessary body builder type physiques.

 

Lewis is Canadian he was a product of the Canadian boxing system and never lived or paid taxes in the UK as a pro or after he retired.

 

Lennox Lewis doesn’t agree with you

“I’ve got a British passport and a Canadian passport, and obviously my British passport comes first.”

 

British passport but never lived here or paid taxes here as a pro...........He has spent his whole adult life in Canada the US and the Caribbean.......His British passport made him more money as a pro fighting as a Brit than fighting as a Canadian.

 

Born in London and first laced gloves while attending a borstal type place as a kid in England, if memory serves.

 

I meant Fury would school him

 

Nobody AJ has fought remotely compares to the elite ability and skills of a peak Witherspoon and young Lennox, and Bruno was doing the pair of them. He even rocked a prime Tyson like he never had been, with a perfectly timed counter hook. Coetzee, Tillis, McCall and Carl Williams are classes above Parker or Takam.

Wlad was totally washed up, let's be real.

 

Bruno was skilled and technical, quite robotic sure, but textbook good. He was the youngest ever ABA champion remember, and came out of the great Repton ABC.

 

Mostly a lurker so feel free to rip away. A tough one to call. Lennox is right up there at the very top and Our 'Enry should be in the list of course. Then names like Don C0ckell could sneak in, most of his carreer was at light heavy but he didn't swerve anybody at heavy neither given the chance including Rocky Marciano. Tommy Farr is in there and what about a chap from my home town Bruce Woodcock, never quiete up to the job at world level but no pushover all the same, he held the British and Empire titles. I'd also like to mention Bob Fitzimmons, he'd never make the grade in the modern era but did the job as the lightest heavyweight champion ever and I holds that record to this day, 61 wins 57 by KO to 8 losses and 4 draws.
