      Both are nothing alike lol

      One is slow as molasses, flat footed, questionable stamina, dumb as rocks, with less power and not an exceptional athlete by any stretch of the imagination.

      Wilder is incredibly spry and mobile, can fight go on the backfoot if he needs too, has a much better jab and uses it much more intelligently, much faster and one of the best pure athletes we've ever seen at heavyweight.

      As great as Lewis was, I'd give Wilder a greater chance against him than many other greats of the time based off of styles alone. The similarities between Joshua and Frank Bruno are much more striking than those between Grant and Wilder.

          They're nothing alike, Grant is much closer to Lewis/Bowe than Wilder. Wilder is closer to a Vitali Klitschko type fighter.


          Honesty these have been some pretty bad comparisons because nobody from the past is like AJ/Wilder.

                Yeah but some take a punch much better than others. A Mike Tyson or George Foreman could take a sledgehammer to the head for 10 rounds before the effects would start wearing them down.

                  Lewis was great but he did have an on/off switch on his chin. It's impossible to favor Wilder but equally impossible to completely write him off. I think Lewis brutalizes Wilder with his jab, as long as Lewis is vigilant, I doubt Wilder lands the bomb.

                    Ray Mercer comes to mind as well

                      A lot of people feel Mike Tyson vs AJ would be similar to Tyson vs Bruno and I can see that.

                      I've always felt Wilder has a lot in common with Michael Grant, (obviously a better version of Grant). Great athletes, both their sucess is based mostly on physicallity, not skill. Similar technique..etc

                      Lennox Lewis would beat the living **** out of Anthony Joshua. #Facts. Joshua is just like Frank Bruno. Stiff, jabber, clincher. Bruno did have more offense doe. When Witherspoon defeated Bruno with the right hand, I have always likened Joshua to Bruno.
