(PRIME) Anthony Joshua vs. (PRIME) Lennox Lewis

I think that people are forgetting that in Joshua's FOUR losses, he was outboxed each time in addition to being beat up.

Lennox was only ever outboxed by Vitali.

Joshua's boxing skills will always let him down, not to mention he completely panics at the first heavy shot landed on him.

 

Gotta favor lewis here but you can’t tell me Joshua wouldn’t have a shot at Rahmaning lewis Joshua has the size, reach, speed and power to make him a live dog. I’d say 65/35 in lewis’ favor. Peak lewis was never unbeatable. Mercer beat him imo. Rahman one hit and that’s it him. And Joshua hits harder than both.

 

Lewis takes him out like he took Golota out.

 

The only reason anyone would ask this question would be to hate on AJ. No one with even a little bit of sense would even consider for a second taking AJ.

 

If Lewis lets AJ into the fight it would be entertaining, but I suspect Lewis would be fit, focused and in full seek and destroy mode, recognising the dangers AJ brings and we would see a Ruddock/Golota type blow out. This is one of those strange fights that the longer it goes the more of a chance you give to AJ...

 

Joshua is respected on this forum and received as much as 8% of the votes, no wonder, he is a fighter of exceptional caliber...

 

The problem with AJ is, since Klitschko or certainly since Ruiz, AJ doesn't fight like a live dog against any fighter he feels cautious against. Against, a Helanious or Ngannou sure the dog comes out but he'd probably fight cautiously if faced against Lewis.

 

He was very cocky against Dubois too and paid the ultimate price.
