    Did Lewis stop McCall and Rahman?

    Did he run like a big fairy?

    Newsflash, Lewis spent years beating and stopping killers

    Are you really comparing Aj to Lennox? Haha

    Really??

    Lewis was beat by lucky punches and stopped the guys after

    He didn't fight an obese guy and run like a fairy for 12 rounds

    Also Lewis had the balls to fight top guys like Mercer and Holyfield away from home

    Give me a shout when Joshua finds his and signs to fight Wilder/Fury

    I won't hold my breath

    Chicken Aj haha

    Because Lennox didnt mind a dust up. It got beyond personal with Rahman so Lewis craved that result. I think Lewis had a different mind set then AJ.

    Mavrovic had an amazing chin, especially considering he was only 215lbs. Lewis threw the kitchen sink at him.

    Lewis spent the night running away from David Tua, who's even squatter than Ruiz, and didn't possess half the boxing ability. And Rahman had already been stopped twice before so the limits of his chin had already been tested.

    Joshua did exactly the right thing, and exactly the thing his detractors didn't believe he could do, namely completely outbox a man who had completely outboxed him the fight before. That's an astounding achievement which has rarely, if ever, been done at such a high level.

    This. The goal is to win. Even Lennox himself couldn’t knockout everybody.

    You can't because a 16 or 18 foot ring is not the standard for HW boxing.
    The ring size was normal

    You going by Lewis at 30 years old but ignore that lewis who was ko by Rahman? Had the guts to fight Rahman right away in the rematch and ko Rahman in the 4th round without running around the ring. Lewis performance in the Rahman rematch was easily way better than Joshua performance in the Ruiz rematch.
    You clearly aren't a real boxing fan if you trying to say Ruiz is better than a prime tua. Ruiz is no where in tua level. Tua has a 1 punch ko power while Ruiz doesn't have that which he's only a combination puncher especially when he counters.
