    Joshua has the puncher's chance as he does have serious power. He might win one or two out of ten. The problem is that he 100% does not have the chin to stand up to Lewis's power and Lewis is the better and more fluid boxer, who has proved himself capable of outboxing guys or winning a dogfight. But the rest will end up like either the Ruddock/ Grant/ Golota fights, with Lewis hurting him early and making it count, or the Morrison /Tyson fights where Lewis cautiously disects him to end it in the middle rounds.

    I'm a.have to go with Lennox on this one. He is a all time great, not to mention he can mythically match up and win mythically against every heavyweight that ever existed. The ring magazine has him posted as the third greatest of all time in heavyweight s.

    AJ is far more skilled than Morrison was and would have destroyed the faded Tyson that Lewis met.

    ROFLMAO Lennox would destroy AJ . Both Rahman & McCall Ko's were due to Lennox underestimating both & losing concentration. They paid in the rematches LOL

    Well, the McCall KO was because he walked onto a right hand and if he did that against AJ the same result would happen. I happen to think that AJ punches harder than McCall and possibly Rahman too.

    However, in any H2H it's the best version of each fighter and LL would stop AJ mid rounds, perhaps earlier if he went looking for him. I think LL is right up there as one of the top 2-3 heavweights H2H of all time.

    AJ is far quicker and more skilled than Mason or Bruno were, Ruiz would destroy both of those fighters in their primes.

    I watched Lewis for his entire career, as I have watched AJ. Lewis was much better. He was a great offensive fighter. He had good power and was accurate. AJ is not on that level. To Lewis’ credit, he would have fought wilder for 50/50 in a second. That’s why he has the legacy he has. He is the greatest British heavyweight ever and will be for long time.

    Lennox stops AJ.... Lennox had a better skill set and quite honestly when motivated could be a lot nastier then AJ ever could be. So far Lennox is the best of the really big men.

    Lewis was the greatest of all time, Joshua is very raw and undeveloped in comparison

    Where`s the proof Lewis was a more accuratwe puncher than AJ? Lewis used to miss tons of shots and didn`t fight anybodty that was really that good defensively.

    Ali was far more proven than Lewis against far beter opposition and wasn`t knocked out by inferior opposition either.
