By prime do you mean roided? Evan Fields..
He was likely roided the whole time.
Early 90's was his prime whether he was on roids or not.
By the mid 90's he was past it by 1999 he was well past it.
Fury beats all 3.
In their prime? I don't think so, thought it's a possibility depending on the ref. With a ref that lets him get away with constant clinching and holding
I believe Holyfield won the second fight but Lennox was gifted the decision.
If he went 1-1 with a past prime Holyfield I don’t see him beating a 1993 version with Emmanuel Steward in his corner.
And you are so confident that Holyfield won this fight that you decided to use an alt account to say so.
Fine. Dominated Holyfield for 18 rounds. And what was Holyfield’s prime then? Two years earlier when he won the straps?
No. Before that too.
He was considered well past his best and was a heavy underdog in 1996 when he fought Mike Tyson let alone 1999.
He was absoutely no where close to his prime in 1999 and he arguably beat him in the rematch so it's totally feasible that a prime, early 90's Holyfield could beat Lewis.
How far out of his prime do you consider Holyfield to have been when Lewis dominated him for 24 rounds?

It definitely matters, because Joshua hasn’t hit his prime yet. If this version of Joshua fights a prime Lewis then it’s a one way destruction. We are not comparing them at 23 fights here, if that’s the comparison then off course AJ wins every time.
well, it's by the way. we all see and analyze things in different ways.
Respect to both guys. I love them both but Lenox has been caught many times criticizing AJ.
Maybe he was paid to do that.
Well, still doesn't matter. Hez flattening every one brought in front of him except one and hez still firing.
Lenox was a great champ, I can't deny that but at the moment if we compare with fight numbers, AJ is better.
In other words AJ can flatten him in mid/late rounds as well.
My humble opinion.

Maybe after 40 fights we can re-assess and give AJ a better chance, but this AJ who is still learning IMHO, who has been pushed too early IMHO would get flattened by a prime Lewis. I don’t even think AJ has hit his prime yet. You don’t hit your prime after 23 fights at HW.

am not disputing that but he still got flattened twice.

Very far.
And he didn't dominate him for 24 rounds.
The rematch was a close fight not even close to a domination.

What do you mean my agenda? I say what i think. Lewis is far superior to any HW fighting today. They would all have very little chance of beating a prime Lewis.
it's fine then. you say what you think and I say mine and we are good.
All man with his opinion.
