Why doesn't Joshua have 'lights-out' power?

    What are you talking about, Lewis cold stopped Tyson. Lewis also lanced Ruddock cold too. You just start watching Boxing last week or something?

    Also, you're comparing the best era of HW's to the shítstains that are out there now. Lewis' opposition was the best in Boxing history.

    I'm NOT a Lennox Lewis fan, but come on dude lmao.

    Who the fůck is Zumbano lmao?

      Joshua doesn't have that one punch KO put you to sleep kind of power but what he does have is a very hard sledgehammer style punch where every shot is going to hurt and he can badly hurt or drop you at any time from 1-12.

      And if he has you hurt he has the potential to finish you.

      That makes him very dangerous from 1-12.

        the guy has 20 KOs in 20 fights...i'd say he doesn't need Julian Jackson 'concussion' power...he's fine with what he has

          Lewis battered shot to **** Tyson like a punching bag for 7 rounds and Tyson wasn't knocked out cold. He was getting up at the end of the count. Tyson covered his face with his right arm right after hitting the ground. He WASN'T knocked out cold.

            Who are people comparing josh to? Ernie shavers? Mike tysoin? Julian Jackson?
            Josh must be hardest hitting heavyweight today so it seems to be a bout silly to question his power.

              And Lewis couldn't even slightly hurt glass-jawed bum Levi Billups in 10 rounds in his 19th fight. Corrie Sanders, Tim Witherspoon, Jeremy Williams all knocked him (Billups) out in 1 round. Hell, even feather-fisted cruiserweight Orlin Norris demolished Levi Billups inside 50 seconds.

                AJ's power is legit, doesn't hit as hard as Wilder, but he is very powerful. AJ's opponents are in survival mode and that's what makes getting a KO so damn hard.

                Klitschko for example was on the back foot from round 1, holding, dodging, barely throwing. He threw 22, 16, 12, 17 punches in the first 4 rounds.

                Takam is another example, he literally said his strategy vs Joshua was to survive the first couple rounds in an attempt to gas him, then gradually up his work rate. 11, 21, 21, 17, were his punches thrown the first 4.

                  Ruddock got his ass beat and stopped by 208lb 6'6 David Jaco and drew with 7-20 Phil Brown years earlier. You're not that good if you're drawing/losing to these part time boxers.

                  Tyson's chin was questionable, he'd already been stopped by Douglas, he was getting dropped in sparring during that time too and not by world champions but by part time boxers. He was stopped by Holyfield who had more KO's at cruiser than HW, and was losing on the cards to Botha before he cold clocked him.

                  Zumbano would've been a legend in the 90's. Just like Mitch Green/Ruddock get remembered for their chins even though Green would get KO'd the very next fight and Ruddock had already been stopped by a walking stick.

                    So? There are several reasonable factors that could explain that rationally. Lennox was ko'ing everybody, maybe his people wanted him to start going the distance? Lennox has more power than those dudes. Jeremy Williams, you serious?

                    Tyson was out cold when he hit the canvas. When that punch landed and he hit the canvas he was out cold for a good 4 seconds. People do all kinds of stuff when their out. Mike grabbed his nose, some guys wave their arms around like a baby in the crib.

                    This fool is still punching with a guard up lmao. Learn the game kid!



                    I don't see you bringing up Ruddock you creampuff.

                      AJ is a big alethic dude. He counters and throws fast combinations. He generates power in that way. Might not have the one KO punching power but enough power and accuracy to punish his opponent and then work him for the KO.

                      If you don't respect his power you are going down
