    Matchroom fans love using the word resume. Their cult leader Hearn has brainwashed them.

    They never ask, who is the better fighter?

    They prefer asking, who has the better resume?

    Matchroom fans are still bitter at losing the purse bids. Eddie "$1 billion dollars" Hearn got taken to school by Frank Warren.

    Martin - world champion.
    Moline - 2x world title challenger.
    Breazeale - ^
    Klitschko - one of Klitschko’s best performances. He came to fight.
    Takam - 2x world title challenger.
    Parker - world champion
    Povetkin - 2x world title challenger
    Ruiz - world champion
    Pulev - 2x world title challenger

    A remarkable résumé. All top 10, world champion or world title challengers. All guys who have or would be world champions in weaker eras.

    Joshua finest moment was coming through a full plate of semolina - the danger to him in that fight was unprecedented; facing a huge puncher, a man with ambition, a man with a granite chin and a man with fighting spirit not seen since an angry Big Joan Fury bashed his bag on youtube while threatening Micky Theo.

    Interestingly 4 of those opponents were 39-41 years old when AJ fought them.

    The British public are behind him, that’s why more people have paid to watch him over the last 6-7 years and more companies sponsor him to advertise their stuff than any other British fighter by a comfortable margin. This board is not a representation of the British public.

    Nobody said that it was a representation of the paying majority. What I am saying is that all Brits, including all of the vigorous British boxing fans of this forum, would get behind him instead of some pikey who’d do you to rip the socks from your ankles and sling the drawers off of your backside.

    Joshua’s appearance is ‘perfect’ whereas the Lewis I grew up with had them dreads which aren’t to everyone’s liking. On this alone Joshua wins.

    The difference is that I used fact and you stated your opinion. Newsflash, nobody cares about your opinion but everyone bought the shows because of the facts.

    Lewis was a fraud.

    One minute he's a yardie, the next he's playing Chess with Toffs, then he's Canadian, then he's English... at least with AJ what you see is what you get.

    A bag of powder, pills or a Humble Man?

    Yup.

    Joshua is a better man. Helps local businesses, supports BLM, hands out cash to people on the street (puts it online to prove it), is always smiling. Endorses ethical companies only.

    His résumé out of the ring certainly eclipses Lewis, who must be bitter about that as a big money man himself. Nobody is buying the fake humble act from Lewis.

    And besides, AJ didn't duck a rematch and blame it on his mamma!
