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.
Anthony Joshua Through Age 31 > Lennox Lewis Through Age 31.

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.Comment

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 easilyComment

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.Comment

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 yearsComment

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???Comment

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.Comment

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.Comment

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.Comment
