    If we're honest, Lewis didn't look any better than Joshua at the same stage of his career.
    I did really like the way Lewis beat Mason, but I thought Joshua looked pretty good against Whyte too.

    Lewis neglected his jab a lot in his early fights, and was quite sloppy often.

    He's faster than Bruno, he's taller than Bruno, he's stronger than Bruno - just better than Bruno.

    Joshua is 16 fights in. Let that sink in for a moment. He's barely even learnt the trade yet.

    And, not for nothing, but Frank Bruno would be a top fighter in the current division.

    I don't think he hits as hard as Bruno. has hard clubbing power .he is more relaxed than Frank but doesn't seem as disciplined tends to start trading with his opponent rather than working behind the jab as frank used to .Bruno used his jab as a weapon not a point scorer. Joshua is more naturaly gifted than Frank but needs to develop his jab and stick to a plan rather than getting involved when he doesn't need to.

    frank had a much better sense of humour than Joshua, who comes across as a boring blinghed.

    lewis was ahead of Joshua at the 15 fight stage, with euro and brit crowns combined, a better resume and a more dominant performance at the Olympics.
    however Joshua could top him by winning a world title in his 16th (or is it 17th) fight.
