    This is such hyperbole it's crazy. A classic example of someone overrating the 90s Heavyweights. Anthony Joshua more than likely would've dominated most of the contenders you mentioned. People probably said the same thing when Wlad Klitschko was in his run "Hed never make it in the 90s".

    You really brought up Mercer who struggled with journeymen, Golata who quit in almost any big fight when there was adversity, and old George Foreman who got completely outboxed by Tommy Morrison for 12 rounds. All to try to pump up the heavyweights of the 90s to bring AJ down. Hilarious.
    No hyperbole at all. I was there. Mercer was dangerous and underrated. Morrison was always competitive. Golota beat the crap out of Bowe but couldn’t control himself and “old” George Foreman could slam shots like a mack truck. Not pumping up an era. Just giving an honest assessment. Also a fan and much respect to AJ. Damn good fighter but let’s not kid ourselves about him making waves in the 90’s era. Would never have happened.

      Who said anything about AJ winning in that era? You said that not me. And I seriously doubt that Bert Cooper would beat Anthony Joshua.

        Don't see how Morrison would've beaten AJ, sure either guy can be taken out with a big shot (Morrison had power) but Morrison had a worse chin than AJ. Didn't he also have poor defense. Think AJ would probably knock him out.

        If AJ fights old Foreman the right way he wins a 1 sided decision.

        AJ Vs Mercer is an interesting one. If AJ fights Mercer the way he fought Ruiz the first time it's probably 60/40 in AJs favor.

        If he fights Mercer like he fought Ruiz the 2nd time he probably wins easily

          You did by making comparisons of who did what. You have to consider the era otherwise you sound like a daft cvnt. Bert Cooper TKO 4.

            I seriously doubt it. Either way it doesn't change the fact that through 31 years of living Anthony Joshua has accomplished more in boxing than Lennox Lewis in 31 years

              Not really. Less high standard of opposition makes things easier. Current HW is a dead division, Lennox era is possibly the best era of all time. How many times to I have to say it before it sinks into your thick fcuking skull kid?

              It's like comparing Calzaghe's time at 168 to the best time of competition of 168. It's not the same high level of competition. Same for Hopkins, when he was middle the division was dead.

              This has nothing to do with AJ or his skill, it has to do with the era DO YOU GET IT YET???

                AJs opposition through age 31 has been better than Lennox Lewis's through age 31. Pretty clearly.

                You keep brining up how great Lennox Lewis's era was but Lennox didn't fight any of the top guys (Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield and Rid**** Bowe) until after 97.

                  Lewis never fought Bowe. He didn't get the fights until later because the talent pool was massive then, talent was everywhere so the roads were longer, it's not now. You still don't get it.

                  Just admit it, you're gay for AJ.

                      I know Lewis didn't fight Bowe, that's my point he never fought Bowe, Holyfield, or Tyson when they were in their respective primes. You still haven't disproven my original point which is that AJ through age 31 > Lennox Lewis through age 31.
