    I think Lewis would destroy AJ, just a different class of fighter. AJ has more in common with Bruno than Lewis.

    You mentioned Breazelle and Whyte, to supplement your argument that he'd be more than a match for Lewis. Two out of shape C-level Heavyweights that wouldn't even make top 15 in Lewis' era.

    Just because you have embarrassed yourself in this thread, do not take it out on me. No one agrees with the garbage you've posted in this thread, no one. And that is all of your own making for being so biased and only having boxing knowledge that relates to Joshua.

    Btw work has finished child. I'm not a slave that labors into the night.

    No, i was replying to a guy who implied AJ has struggled with Whyte and Breazeale, i didn't say he would beat prime Lennox Lewis based on those two fights.

    I haven't embarassed myself even one bit, i wasn't even posting a lot in this thread until you and some other imbeciles have replied to me and accused me of things i have never said.

    I'm not convinced that an idiot like you is able to work.

    Lewis stops AJ early in a brutally short fight .big muscle men with poor mobility and high chins were bread and butter to Lewis .Total mismatch.

    This. Joshua took 11 rounds to beat a 41 year old Wlad that was inactive and coming off a loss. Corrie Sanders even in his late 30's completely crushed a prime Wlad in 2 rounds. Brewster also knocked out a prime Wlad in 5 rounds. An old Lennox almost ruined Vitali's face before Vitali was saved and Vitali is the brother with the chin, handspeed, and mobility.

    Joshua has no stamina and is wide open in the body and to uppercuts, which I could see Lennox punishing him with.

    I wish people would not make these comparisons. I think this is unfair to Joshua, tbh. Whilst he is at his physical best, technically he can still improve and these comparisons can only really be made once Joshua is at his absolute best.

    Having said that, I think Joshua can do well against a 1993 Lewis. I think Lennox was more raw with more flaws than Joshua now, although Joshua has his own flaws as well. That fight can go either way, imo.

    Of course prime Lennox would be a clear favourite against Joshua. Lennox is one of the best ever heavyweights H2H and not many could be realistically favoured against him. Prime Lennox would stop him perhaps in the 5th round imo.

    Wait 2-3 years with Joshua and then make these comparisons.

    And now the back tracking and crying begins. :lol:

    No one made you post in this thread, child

    You initially posted your stupid view that suggested Joshua would beat Lewis which inevitably got called up on. As when people post garbage, it gets challenged. That's how it works here.

    Why are you even arguing that AJ didn't struggle with Whyte, only God knows when it was clear he went life and death with him. That's how Whyte built his reputation off the back of coming close to beating AJ before his shoulder went and was basically fighting with one arm for the rest of the 4 rounds.

    And then you have the audacity to call people imbeciles because they do not same the same moronic opinions that you cling to.

    Listen, you dumb idiot, read my post again i have said he would probably beat the 19 fight version of Lennox Lewis,
    i don't know if you have watched the early fights from Lennox Lewis but he had more flaws than Anthony Joshua has now.

    I didn't say he would beat prime Lennox Lewis, i said this comparison is unfair because you can't compare a fighter with only 19 fights to a prime all time great and i said Lennox would be the favorite but it wouldn't be a walk in the park for him which is a realistic view if you want to believe it or not.

    A non prime Lewis would still maul Joshua into pieces you foolish boy. Talking of different versions to stretch your argument into favouring Joshua only makes you look desperate and moronic.

    Pre prime Lewis still had the better inside game, better footwork and better gas tank to ruin this version of Joshua.

    Ok, you genius, that's your opinion which counts for nothing, sadly we will never know what would have happened.

    I think the Lewis that fought beat Bruno and Ruddock would have probably knocked Joshua out early. Lewis didn't truly lose to anyone until he got sparked out by Rahman. I think he would have beat McCall in the first fight too, if it weren't for that shady flash knockdown.
    Joshua's a good fighter, but I think Lewis athleticism was much superior.

    I'm not knocking him. This happens when you compare a hof fighter to a guy starting out.

    Yep...it doesnt really matter what most think...lewis never had an aggressive guy with Joshuas style that could reach him so easy.after the Wlad fight i rank him over Lewis who didnt like fast starters,anyone who saw the Briggs and even Grant fight( who shook him in rnd 10 would know this...Tyson little 71 inch reach or so also won the first few rnds by pressing him.

    Vitali Klitchko also hurt him early....this match up favors a Joshua over Lewis.Right now it would be a good fight...give Joshua a few more fights and ppl with realize what they actually didnt know then,and thats Joshua is one dangerous mofo with skills not seen at 240 plus with THAT style..

    whats more ironic is guys here claiming vitali would defeat lewis are in total awe of Joshua doing the same??Mind boggling...lol
