Joshua: Lennox was a beast in the ring, but I don't respect him as a man

Not to mention the Americans and neutrals that side with Joshua on this occasion. You can pretend Lewis has not been pushing the pbc agenda but it's pretty obvious, Anthony Joshua is a long long way from being above criticism but we can all tell the difference between honest opinion and spin.

 

When someone keeps bringing up an issue, even after everyone else has moved on, you know where the insecurity lies...

 

Lewis is jealous of the money that AJ has earned. Think he feels like he had to do it the hard way

 

I'm a big Lewis fan (look at my username) but Joshua is bang on the money here. Lennox has been needling him for years while turning a blind eye to Wilder's shenanigans, and I'm surprised Joshua took this long to finally bite back. Now Lennox appears to be playing the hurt victim, which is pretty pathetic and childish behaviour considering, certainly not befitting a former champion with one of the deepest resumes in the history of the division.

I'll always be a fan of Lennox as a boxer, but I'm seriously starting to question my respect for him as a man. He's more and more coming across as bitter and petty, as well as lacking in integrity, and I genuinely thought he wasn't any of those things.

 

Lewis basically said Joshua should have given Wilder 50-50 split to do the fight.

Everyone knows/ remembers Joshua had 3/4 belts + was selling 90K + stadiums every fight whilst Wilder was giving tickets away at Barclays centre.

 

Why?

 

The fact that Wlad is being helpful despite losing to AJ says something about his character. Lewis has proved he's incapable of being supportive under any circumstance, he lacks the capacity.

 

When these kinds of stories come out, guys like you choose sides. It's ok, it's your choice. So now Lennox is being vivlified. Vilify him.

You used the word "incapable". You don't even know the man.

 

Because you have to. But don't worry. Lennox will probably respond in kind.

 

So you can tell the difference between one side of the story being told , and the other NOT being told. Cool story bro. You guys csn feel sorry for Joshua. I don't. I've never liked him. I tried, but the Wilder situation made me not like him.

 

Who really knows anyone? We base our opinions on the available information, and some of us even try to remain objective during the process.

 

Again why?

Why would “we” have too?

 

Of that generation Lennox is probably the least likeable now, he rarely gives his fellow opponents credit, and hasn’t mellowed like Tyson and Holyfield have, they fall over themselves to show each other respect. I was a big fan of his when he fought but there were still things back then that didn’t sit right with me. He doesn’t have a humble bone in his body for one, yet strangely he was seen as the nice guy, he’s just a very arrogant person but that’s probably what made him the success he was. To have the self belief to comeback and win after getting flattened takes a strong mind set.

Lewis seems a lot more respectful of the older generation, Ali and foreman for example but they are no threat I guess. But anyone in his own generation he rarely gives credit to and he clearly isn’t a big fan of AJ.

I didn’t like the way Joshua name called but the more I think about it the more I feel he has the right to fight his corner a bit. As said, Lewis is quite happy to look past the pathetic match ups fury and wilder have had themselves but it appears he gives them a pass. I guess because they fought each other, but that doesn’t detract from at least wilder building a career from fighting cans and the only reason he took on fury was likely because he saw him as a non threat, or his team did anyway.

 

Put me in the “some of us” section.

 

Because you love Wlad and if you have to ask again why, it’ll be the same answer.
