When you watch them on tape, you clearly see this. To me they are night and day. Joshua Bruno only stand and pose alike which is why I make fun of him. Bruno threw arm punches, Joshua doesn't.

    How does Wilder Lewis go. I don't make predictions of fighters who are retired and fighters who are still fighting so i always favor the retired boxer because they deserve the credit. I see the fight like this. If lewis can get past Wilder's right hand, the fight is over because Lewis was a superb inside fighter. The danger though is getting past Wilder's right hand. I pick no winner until Wilder is retired.
    I’m with you on much of what you say here but the part about Bruno throwing arm punches missed the mark completely

      Even though Lewis would be the favorite with a good lead, the fight wouldn't look like this. No way Wilder will charge in without hurting the other guy before. The way I see it is Wilder moving around trying to set up the right hand while Lewis don't let him do the last with his jab, but Lewis was hittable as we see in this fight, if Wilder get him it's the end

        Lewis inside was more about leaning on the opponent and uppercutting. He wouldn't be able to lean on Wilder and Wilder showed some good in-fighting skills against Duhaupas, so go for the inside wouldn't be that useful for Lewis

            The fight you be the judge and comment on what you think and be honest.

            Lennox Lewis vs Rid**** Bowe 88 Olympic Final

            https://********/K39AbwNl3QU

            Oh and Rid**** Bowe problem was his laziness and bad eating habits, the man actually had a kitchen in his bedroom and even Eddie Futch his trainer said he was a lost cause and left him during training camp before Golota and Bowe was already showing brain damage and slurred speech hell even Lew Duva Golotas trainer was saying after fight 2 on HBO on the interview there's something really wrong with Rid**** Bowe and he seriously needs to be checked out, Then he retired.

            Also Rid**** Bowe had some of the best skills for a big man in the history of boxing and he could fight inside outside and had major heart and will, but like i said he was just to lazy and everything just caught up with him.
            Bowe hit guys outside of the ring. That's why I never liked him. To me Bowe couldn't box guys his own size. He was a bully and bullies always get exposed.

              Grant was pretty ordinary.

              I think we're passed that now with Wilder. Man is good.

              That Grant fight was entertaining. Grant deserves credit for punching with Lewis. Gave himself opportunities to actually win that.

              That's why heavyweight is fascinating. Due to the nature that nearly everyone can turn the tide with one shot. Do you try and show patience and set that power up or do you take a chance?

              Did Grant do the right thing here and swing with Lewis whilst on rubbery legs? Lewis was stronger on the inside so he was struggling to hold. Could he have employed better lateral movement? Not on those peg legs.

              Then there is the chance that he might get his legs back. That a big man like Lewis will start to blow.

              Love heavyweights
