    Except AJ is leagues above Briggs, who was KTFOED by journeyman Darroll Wilson and got beaten by losing-record journeyman Cedrek Fields while being in his prime

    He’s a huge puncher and Lewis took bombs from him. Sure he wasn’t the greatest fighter and was inconsistent but he was a dangerous power puncher. AJ is not leagues above Mercer, Klitschko, Holyfield, or Tua though is he and Lewis beat them all.

    Lennox is far more accomplished than AJ and has shown more in the ring than him. I don’t see a strong case for Joshua winning this.

    He has a better chin? You serious? The only time Lewis got knocked out was from perfect punchers from big punchers. He look a lot of solid shots in other fights and took them fine. AJ on the other hand was dropped multiple times by Ruiz's sloppy punches which did not even connect clean.

    Lewis by murder.

    All this talk about modern fighters being a different breed. Usyk is the best HW alive now and he was Olympic champion 12 years ago, so there's nothing magical about modern training.

    I remember Kugan AKA Bent Legs asking Eddie Hearn who he thought would win between Lewis-AJ this was before AJ lost to Usyk and even Fast Car admitted Lennox would be the favourite

    Lewis KO within 4 rounds AJ is very similar to Bruno looks good, has solid fundamentals but against the elite get's taken out

    AJ has never been ko’d from a punch to the chin. Temple shots aren’t the same as chin shots

    From the way that Joshua looked, Lennox Lewis in any phase of his career knocks him out in the first round.

    He was, although I think AJ has shown some strong moments of mental toughness. Still got to back Lewis to take him out.

    Lewis looked like a mix of AJ and Charles Martin speed and technique wise. I go with AJ.

    Charles Martin? In what world is he similar to Lewis?
