    This would say a lot against Lennox resume because Holyfield looked unimpressive and did achieve much post Lennox

    I can’t argue with that but I’d say his only bad loss was to Toney. Byrd is underrated and Donald had the style to always give Holyfield problems.

    Where do you rate AJ if Lewis beat him?

    OP you have failed miserably with this post. Clearly the first thing that comes to mind for most is Vitali.

    You have just spent the rest of this thread first realising your dumb as hell, then trying to justify that stupidity to save face.

    Just close thread @MismatchHypejob and call it a night.

    You’ve added nothing of value to this thread.

    You can’t even answer the q go on.. is Lennox’s best win 37 yo much smaller Holyfield who achieved nothing after or is it his win against stopped on a cut stiff mediocre resume klitschko.

    Lennox resume is utter trash and full of obvious cherrypicking opponents at the opportune time.

    AJ would arguably be his best win.

    Who has he got to compete with ? The only ones who would compete against Joshua for Lennox’s best wins are : Much smaller 37yo Holyfield, Mercer, Vitali. AJ is better than Bruno and Ruddock imo.

    Vitali was stopped on a cut and he ducked the rematch. I don’t really consider it completely valid and Im also not convinced of Vitali

    Your post loses credibility when you try to minimize each opponent with juvenile descriptions

    I think the best Lewis win would be Klitschko

    also impressive were razor Ruddock, Morrison, Rahman, David Tua, and the ease with which dismantles a still pretty young Tyson

    You seem to be obsessed with size. Presume you think haye with a victory over 7ft valuev is impressive given the size difference.

    I think Frazier and Foreman were bette than anybody Lewis beat, depite feeling that Lewis was better H2H against Ali, Norton was a good boxer too, Lewis`s era is overrated.

    Well, a lot of those guys were more skilled than AJ, even though they were smaller.

    I guess we'll just have to disagree. I think AJ is a good fighter but he's not better than Vitali Klitschko, Holyfield, or Mercer.

    For me, the key to answering this question is what one thinks of the version of Anthony Joshua whom Usyk beat. I don't think much of that Joshua. AJ hasn't looked close to the best version of himself since the first Andy Ruiz bout. Lewis' win over Klitschko and his first win over Holyfield were better. Also, in my sometimes humble opinion, his two round dismantling of a then high quality Razor Ruddock was a better win.
