How would a fight between a prime Lennox Lewis and Anthony Joshua play out in your opinion

Honestly I see it going similar to LL vs Michael Grant

 

Lewis By KO within 6.

 

Both fight cautiously, but the better boxer foundamentally Lewis hit the ponderous Anthony with a right hand, Joshua panic, abandon all his training and coaching, and rush forward and engaged the Lion in a slugfest, and he gets knocked out in 5.

 

Lewis stops him, better at pretty much everything

 

I see it being like the Tommy Morrison fight. Lennox just better all around, Joshua keeps getting that thumping jab in his face, he's brave and tries but gets out gunned.

Joshua is a good boxer, and I mean it in the strictest sense, his fundamentals are sound.
A good jab, a good selection of offensive punches, plus he moves pretty well for a big man.
Lewis is just a tad better in every aspect though plus despite his two well known stoppage losses is just tougher more durable and possesses more savvy.
Lewis knocks him out at some point.

 

I still have some questions about Joshua, but I think this fight would be competitive.

Lewis has power, a better chin, longer reach, strength, a better jab and stamina over AJ. I also think he has a better inside game.

AJ has better speed and combinations, is more agile, is a little bit taller, is more explosive and is a better counter puncher.

Both guys have shown that they can be hurt, dropped and stopped, and both guys are big punchers so I'd be suprised if this went the distance.

Lewis tended to go for the kill early against taller opponents, but I dont think that game plan would be as effective here since Joshua has shown that he can fight well off of the back foot.

I think once Lewis realizes this, he begins to box more conservatively.

The fight becomes a competitive chess match with fireworks occasionally going off. Lewis is using his jab effectively and the danger of his power is keeping Joshua honest. Joshua is sometimes beating Lewis to the punch, and landing hard counters.

I think they hurt eachother multiple times throughout the fight.

In around the 10th round, Lewis cracks Joshua with a right hand and hurts him badly. After taking alot of punishment Joshua goes down but gets up. Lewis manages to back Joshua onto the ropes and lands multiple right hands that force the referee to stop the fight.

Lewis wins by 10th round stoppage, but depending on how AJs possible future fights with Usyk, Fury and Wilder go, that result may change.

 

AJ would far harder to hit with this 1-2
13:48
However it would only take one right hand for Lewis to end it and his 1-2`s were just so quick.

 

Lewis had a flaw of pulling back from shots that`s when AJ would stop him with a straight right, Lewis got away from shots because of his height but AJ`s rach would be enough to catch Leweis as he pulled back.

 

Fight would be similar to Lewis versus Bruno, though potentially a bit more competitive and might last a little longer. But ultimately I think Lewis stops him.

 

This. He feasts on big guys not named Vitali. Smaller guys always gave Lewis his hardest fights, Holy, Mercer mavrovic type sizes, big guys are completely ****ed with him

 

The ring canvas looks very shiny, after Lewis mops it with Joshua for about 2 minutes or so.

 

Agree but I would take it a step further and say that if LL had trained the whole time for Vitali (v was a late sub) he woulda had him outa there quick too...

I believe yesterday was the 18th anniversary of Lewis vs vitali

 

lewis punches aj,aj goes to sleep
