    I think the average punch Joshua throws is harder than the average punch Lewis throws, but when they're both throwing as hard as they can, Lewis hit harder by a fair margin IMO.

    I think power wise they're about the same, but Lennox is a much better fighter.

    Probably about the same. Seems there are some doubters as to AJs power...don’t know where that would come from. Seemed about equal to me. Maybe give the edge to angry Lennox if I had to choose one.

    Anthony Joshua is a powerful puncher... But, Lewis not only punches harder, but, punches more accurately.

    Lennox is the harder puncher and also the better all around puncher. That's not saying Joshua is a light puncher, more that Lennox had exceptional power that only a handful of people could reasonably be said to punch harder.

    I think as George said, per average Joshua throws a harder punch but when they are closing the curtain Lennox is the superior of the two in regards to sheer force both are very powerful either way.

    Joshua's uppercut is on par with Lewis. But when it comes to jabs, and longer range punches, Lewis is alot more powerful.

    Just saying I doubt Ruiz would have been so aggressive against Lewis than he was with Joshua. Even a tough guy like Tua didn't want to go forward after the last 3 rounds.

    Not much in it.

    Whatever you can say about Joshua, there is nothing wrong wit his power.
