Comments Thread For: Joshua Does Not Expect Historical Rep Like Ali, Foreman, Holmes

I have to disagree. I think its vry plain that Lewis at 19 fights was a better fighter than Joshua is now.

I can see why you think that. Levi Billups who Lewis fought in his 19th fight almost finished his career with a .500 record.

Billups wasn't a great fighter. But after reading your post I looked up Joshua's record. Very impressive. I only saw his last fight and one other so I might have to retract my statement after I look at more if his fights.

ANTHONY JOSHUA doubts his name will ever be etched in heavyweight folklore alongside the likes of Muhammad Ali and George Foreman - no matter what he achieves. The IBF and now WBA, IBO heavyweight champion has, of course, got an awful long way to go before he could be considered a great and it is far from a foregone conclusion that he ever will.

The way Joshua conducted himself up to this fight and afterward, made me a huge fan of his. I wish him the best, and a long reign. However, I will be rooting against him if he ever fights Wilder, because my country comes first.

I like Joshua, he's nice kid but I honestly don't think he is or will be better than Lennox Lewis. Lewis was a more complete fighter and not so robotic and stiff like Joshua. A prime Lewis vs a prime Joshua, Lennox in 4 or 5 rounds.

Completely Disagree, Joshua is not robotic, that guy has boxing mechanics down, and he is still green. We have yet to see a prime Joshua, and once we do then we can have that conversation.

Ali would say:
"Ohh, you are not dumb as you look."

I watched the fight just looking at angles and mechanics. Immediately I realized that the only time Joshu had mechanics was when no one was puching and he was jabbing at the early rounds. When posing he looks mechanical. After that he just spoiled by Wlad.
Didn't you see the way he was moving back, jumping on Wlad, wild stuff w.o. mechanics. Noting was mechanic abt that guy, he is yet to understand how to throw each punch. He somehow throws, and that somehows were about cost him the fight vs a 41 y.o., shot, technician.
