Anthony Joshua vs Lennox Lewis - Clash of the British Punchers

Yeah. 245 lbs now is not considered as a very large HW boxer.

 

He's good, but how good is he? He's not done anything apart from that Joshua bout. But that's not the point.

Anyone could look athletic when they set out to circle the ring against a morbidly obese blob for half an hour.

 

It still is, if you're lean.

You live in a world of blown up cruiserweights and idolise Tony Bellew's "grappling strength" ffs.

Surrix = 190lbs blob. You could make middlweight if you were lean, bud.

 

Any other type of strategy would have played into Ruiz’s hands so it was excellent strategy.

 

Best version of Lewis beats best version of Joshua 7/10 imo

 

LOL at AJ a better fighter. Guy wilted and quit in Ruiz 1.

Lewis is a proven ATG and stood toe to toe with Vitali at the tail end of his career. More heart, more power and all around much more well rounded.

 

I'd agree people now underrate Joshua because of the Ruiz loss much like how people underrated Lewis after he lost to McCall.

Lewis' main rivals were way smaller that's true, with the exception of Bowe which of course never happened. But Lewis proved himself against plenty of big men too, Tucker, Grant, Akinwande, Golota, Vitali etc. In fact Lewis usually destroyed bigger slower guys with ease.

True Lewis couldn't KO Holyfield and Mavrovic but then it's not like they were chinny, nobody ever stopped Mavrovic and Holyfield was only stopped in his prime by Bowe and even then he had hepatitis in that fight. Being taken the distance by these two shouldn't be seen as a negative things as you have tried to make it out to be.

I see it as competitive fight, far from a mismatch, Joshua isn't an easy nights work for anyone, even in his loss he had Ruiz down and badly hurt. But I see Lewis' superior skill level being too far to bridge right now for Joshua. His tendency to hold his feet against a mobile Lewis and Lewis' far superior jab taking away Joshua long game give Lewis a clear edge for me. I'd say 60/40 to Lewis rather than 50/50.

 

Lewis was knocked out cold by Rahman and on Bambi legs against McCall. Equally if not more embarrassing.

 

You are just a troll. Maybe you are 120 lbs with 40% body fat or 450 lber with 60% body fat.

Also doesn't looks that you had even read up about Bellew, not alone watched him.

Bellew was 210.3 lbs vs Haye and later 199.3 lbs vs Usyk.
Looks that you attempt to claim that he was obese or something like this?

 

I had get your criteria about pro boxing: they are very badly hurt if they had been down. Thank you for indirect clarification what thing for you means " badly hurt ". No offense, casual boxing fans thing.

 

Where he had quit? Cos Ruiz Jr beated him up?
You post like he had asked ref to stop fight?

 

You're so dumb that you can't even grasp that Bellew had to be fat to be 210lbs. He had a belly and ***** tits ffs.

Lean, Bellew would not be over 185lbs, and that's being generous. He's not the big man that you make him out to be, which shows that you're a weed yourself.

 

You for sure did not had watched Bellew.

There if Bellew approx 24 hours after he had weighted in at 199.3lbs for fight vs Usyk.
Don't claim that he for sure was also 199.3 lbs in the ring.

Do you call this boxer fat?
You actually are dumb and entertaining poster for amusement purposes& fun that you think others are dumb. LOL at you and your posts.

Or you just are dumb and use competitive body builder's fat % and how they are looking criteria for their ( bodybuilders ) tournaments also for boxers?

I can't tell how amazing you are if you might call 210 lbs Bellew as " fat ".

 

He quit when he didn't follow the refs instructions to leave the corner. That was a quit job, if you can't see that that's on you. it was as much a quit as No Mas.

He did well taking the immediate rematch and boxed very well, but that doesn't negate the fact that he quit in the first fight.

 

I don't think that's almost average today for a fit fighter. Maybe almost average because of the amount of fatasses bringing up the average.
