    Wlad* again.
    When was it a good time for Lewis to fight Wlad? Right when Lennox faced Vitali, Wlad was blown out by Sanders. Wlad had a loss to Purity and had gone down the WBO route, which gave up his way of fighting Lewis. He also didn't beat anyone of note to get the Lewis fight.
    Ducking and Cherry picking? Of who? He fought everyone he could. Tyson paid him step aside money, Moorer never expressed any sort of interest and Riddick Bowe. Well...

    To be fair, there's nothing wrong with AJ fans wanting to link their boy's name to that of an ATG. Nothing wrong with ambition or aiming high, however out of reach it might feel for them right now. And if discussing LL's flaws helps them forget the weekend, who are we to disrupt their grieving process? I think this is the anger stage. Stage 2. Only bargaining, depression and acceptance to go....

    Not true. Lennox fought badly the whole first fight.

    You were supposed to name five guys - Joshua is only about halfway through his career, right? So I only kept your top five guys.

    Vladimir > Vitali (just look at their resumes, and at the fact that Lennox picked Vitali over Vlad)
    Povetkin and Holyfield are comparable at HW
    Whyte > fat, shot-to-pieces Tyson
    Parker > McCall
    Takam is comparable to the overweight version of Tua that Lennox fought.

    At the very least, it's remarkable that Joshua's top five wins are even comparable to Lennox's, let alone that they're better. But Lennox's fanboys think it's heresy to even mention this stuff.

    If Lewis hadn`t sacked his trainer after losing to McCall his career wouldn`t have gotten very far, I have heard a vid with what McCracken said to AJ in between rounds and it was far too basic, 'use your jab and right hand, box'! no mention of what to do when the body shots were crippling hjim or reminding him not to leave his head on the center line after punching, his head wa too stationary, that should have been worked out before this bout in training, Steward wa a far better trainer than McCracken.

    So a shot 40yr old Wlad who just got schooled by fury is better than a prime v klitschko that Lewis beat at the end of his career? Really?? Wow.

    Saying change trainer isn't a terrible remark, but he managed to insult mccracken in the process by basically calling him a pre school trainer, sure he didn't mean it like that but Lewis is clumsy with words :lol:

    Man, you are really butt hurt. Too butt hurt in fact to see that Lennox speaks the truth and in fact he's offering these points for AJ's benefit and not as a put down. However since you are so damn butt hurt, that's all you can see lmao. Get your head out of AJ's ass long enough so you can see clearly man.

    Lewis changed trainers after McCall loss and it made him better moving to Manny Steward, the loss to Rahman was Lewis's fault filming Oceans 11 etc.

    Wlad* for the 3rd time, come on pal it's not that hard.
    First of all that's a shitty top 5. Takam don't belong and if he does then it seriously hurts your argument

    Lewis's top 5 wins just as you ask for

    1. Evander Holyfield
    2. Vitali Klitschko
    3. Mike Tyson
    4. Andrew Golata
    5. David Tua

    In what way? Litterally no version of Povetkin is remotely comparable to Holyfield in anything other than Height and Reach. Holy did everything better and is infinitely more proven, Holys a top 10. Povetkin isn't a top 10 contender at HW
    Let's just say WLAD is better than Vitali, which I do believe, Wlad had just lost a few months before, Wlad was completely shot against AJ, worse or as bad as anyone Lewis beat, and definitely not even comparable with a prime Vitali.

    Litterally both of Joshua's best wins are against shot fighters, Whyte was also injured and green. They're equal, but Tyson is greater so...
    How? What win does Parker have that makes him equal to McCall. McCall has 2 HW legends in his résumé, Parker has Takam and Hughie, with a loss to Ruiz
    No. No he ****ing isn't. That version of Tua puts Takam in a coma.

    Because it is. Joshua hasn't accomplished a tenth of what Lewis did

    They are both Olympic Gold medalist and now like Lewis AJ has been a unified Heavyweight champion and been knocked out. Let’s see how AJ’s career plays out.

    Joshua was terrible vs portion wrong tactics. In fact he was lucky to get by taken and Parker also. Lewis is the greatest of all time
