    Lennox Lewis is terrible, telling Joshua to fire his trainer. Robert McCracken took Joshua to the HW championship, and to victories over Vlad, Povetkin, Whyte, and Parker. That alone is arguably better than Lennox's resume.

    Lennox should keep his mouth shut instead of reading Al Haymon's talking points on TV. After getting brutally KOed by Hasim Rahman, Lennox stayed with Emanuel Steward and won the immediate rematch.

    Lennox Lewis switched trainers after losing to Oliver McCall. He hired McCall's trainer for that fight, Emanuel Steward.

    Pretty sure Lennox knows a hell of a lot more about upsets and coming back from them than you do, OP.

    Edit... did he just write that AJ > Lennox? WTF?

    He brutally blamed Pepe Correa for the defeat in his next fight, blamed him for being a cheerleader rather than a coach and for telling him to KO Mccall.

    True, but Emanuel Steward is a top 10 trainer of all time and McCracken is not. Lewis fired many trainers before.

    Wlad* and No it isn't.
    TKO6 > them
    And Lewis has plenty of wins that would either be massive threats to them or outright beat all of them,
    Tua, Holyfield, Bruno, Mercer, Rahman and as mentioned Vitali Klitschko. Also both who Lewis lost to would beat Ruiz

    Lewis is top 3/5. Joshua is top 25/30.

    Tyson never blamed a single trainer for his losses. His philosophy was when it goes right, its because of me therefore when it goes wrong, its my fault. A trainer cant do much for you when you are in the ring.

    You do realise you actually typed that out for public consumption and didn't merely think it?

    Ruiz exposes Joshua for what he is clearly lacking in his game. No stamina, doesn’t fight tall, can’t pump out the jab firmly and move, can’t throw a 1-2 and move, can’t defend using distance rather than high guard (if you’re that tall you don’t need the high guard, your reach and jab is your defense look at wlad and Lennox for reference), can’t tie up etc.

    All things his amateur coach failed to teach him. And his coach is literally a coach for amateurs.

    He should 100% fire him. AJ looked terrible, no way a man with that much physical advantages should be losing to Ruiz.

    Would Whyte and Parker even make Lennox top 10?

    Not by my reckoning, no. And none of his best wins were against men aged 40 or over, either. OP's is one of the dumbest comments I've read on here, which could only be rescued if it turned out to be a troll.
