    Lewis would knock Joshua out without any problem, totally superior. Camerelle beat Joshua in the Olympics, outboxed Joshua, but was cheated by the home town judges....................

    Ridiculous logic. If that were how we determined when someone went pro then EVERY PERSON IN THE WORLD who is not currently an amateur boxer is a pro boxer and we are simply awaiting their debut. Of all the strange and twisted logicians on this forum, you are a class unto your own.

    So if he had an injury at 23 years old that postponed his career for ten years and then he had his debut at 33 would he be a 10 year pro when he finally made his debut? You are a loon. :nut

    Neither of those are before a pro debut...

    You are not a pro until you have a pro fight. This is elementary. Only a loony toons poster like you would argue otherwise.

    His pro debut? As in the time when he officially turned pro? You are the ultimate :nut

    If you are ranked #1 by a sanctioning body but you never actually have a professional fight then you are still not a professional boxer!!! It's only once you lace up the gloves and step in the ring ON YOUR PROFESSIONAL DEBUT that you can officially claim to be a professional boxer. I would assume this is self-evident, but nothing is as easy as it ought to be with you....

    And those were the times when those men officially became professional boxers because if their debuts had never happened for whatever reason (career ending injury, 50 year soul-searching mission in Tibet, a sudden affinity for the non-violent preachings of Mahatma Gandhi, etc...) THEN THEY WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN PROFESSIONAL BOXERS. Seriously, how hard can this possibly be to understand...

    People will degrade him no matter what,imo based on what I see,he is a top 3-4 hw in the world already,couple that with the fact he won the Olympics with virtually no Ameritech background,he looks great,he will prob fight for a title within a year or so.everyone cries there is nothing in the heavyweight division to get excited about,then someone to get very excited about comes along and all they do is try to pick holes that aren't there.hes had 13 fights put it in perspective,he is leagues above all of the top 10 barring maybe povetkin and wlad but also 10 or more years younger.enjoy it rather than degrade it

    Except this is not a fact, he signed his professional promotional contract with matchroom on July 24th, 2013. :deal

    It's an extremely weak division.

    I'm sure Bruno would be a killer at this time.
