Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis: Joshua Does Not Want Wilder or Fury Right Now

[Hands of Stone]

Watch all the AJ fanboys come out and start shooting the messenger while ignoring the message. Say what you want about Lennox, he is a straight shooter and he speaks the truth when he sees it. Before you say he hates AJ, he's given his fair share of opinion on both Wilder and Fury as well. He's called Fury a PED cheat who does more talking in the ring and stinks up a fight. He's said Wilder is not that great and went as far as saying Wilder doesn't even know how to throw a jab so when he says AJ is comfortable fighting in England and don't want any of these guys yet, what is wrong with that statement.

Fury just came into the picture so I 'll excuse that part but funny how AJ suddenly finds his voice all of a sudden when it is imminent that Wilder and Fury are doing a rematch and acting like he really wants the fight when his Papa and Grand Father Hearn said all along that they will steer clear of Wilder, the video is out there and never mind him turning down 50m, so you all need to stop it and respect Lewis for what he is which is a truth teller. Go fight Whyte which is the plan all along and when he's ready to fight Wilder, Hearn should book it in Vegas 'cos that where the fight belongs. Makes both a lot of money.

Hard to say who's more bitter and jealous, this sellout or fish eyes?

Why would Lennox Lewis be bitter or jealous regarding
Anthony Joshua?

That's ridiculous.

Lennox is legend who forged an illustrious legacy.
Anthony Joshua may prove to be a mere flash-in-the-pan.

Why bro ? Wilder was outboxed . AJ vs Wilder will be a slugfest a much more fan friendly fight. Someone is getting knocked out. None of them and bob and weave and slip punches like Fury . They both don’t move their heads so someone’s head is getting splattered

Because it was a cat and mouse fight for the whole fight and Deontay almost took home a 12 round ko. I think these fights because it makes both fighters better. Deontay learns not to always look for the knock and be more patient and set up his combos and to also not come into fights so light. Fury learns he can take a punch but you have to be able to stay on guard for 12 rounds. I am interested in AJ vs Wilder also.

It was all smiles and Hallmark cards with the funny sounding folks a couple weeks ago when LL said Wilder was exposed and clearly lost to Fury. Now the same funny sounding folks calling him a hater.

I don’t like Lewis . No real reason really just have never taken to him. A great fighter can not take that away from him and Frankly he is entitled to his opinion and because of what he accomplished their is truth in his words. However, I do remember when he too was offered a lot of money to rematch Vitali and he chose to retire.

Now look at what Mayweather accomplished but he is never Quick to give compliments to current fighters even when they have not achieved a quarter of what Mayweather did. Yes logically you will say why would Lennox be jealous but Lennox didn’t endure the adulation of the British public likE Joshua receives. Maybe he doesn’t feel appreciated but I’m definitely not going to criticise him because he has an opinion on a boxer. Some of his comments are funny. Whilst he was commentating on the Wilder vs Fury fight he said both fighters were boxing magnificently. He is a nice guy old Lennox

I like Lennox alot but I'm not sure how much I can rely on his analysis of other boxers based on what I've heard from him during in-fight commentary. There's either bias or a complete lack of awarenesses of what's actually transpiring.

If Roy Jones Jr said something, I'd put more stock in it. He seems to have an innate awareness of what's going on that isn't always apparent to the casual eye.

Yer I think he must be salty cause he would fight anyone anywhere just about.
Plus he was very good at what he did, alot better than Joshua.

Yet Joshua has all the fans and admired throughout.

It must get to Lewis just abit.

if he is salty and not just giving his opinion, I'm sure it also has a lot to do with all the idiot casuals on his IG telling him how much better AJ is than him because of his IBO belt.

Lol, Joshua asked the crowd to cheer for chisora and they cheered, then he asked them to cheer for whyte they did then he asked them to cheer for Eddie knowing that they won't then the crowd booed for Eddie... When aj said whyte was not next and he wants wilder next they booed!!! They were booing when he called Eddie and wilders name...

[Bda31175]

Yeah there’s definitely an agenda. I think it’s because he never really caputured the British public’s attention/admiration which mainly stems from him representing Canada in the Olympics.

Do they call me a bridge builder? But you box for Canada ONCE!

First, what Lennox said was accurate. Hearn had no intentions of making the Wilder fight for April 13th. It was always the winner of Whyte/Chisora. Hearn told this same website a day or two ago, that Whyte was is 80 percent the next opponent. But we already knew that.

Second, AJ will never fight on American soil. He said himself again, to this very website. Honestly, i don't blame him. American champs, set up shop in a particular location and everyone must come to them. Daddy Hearn already laod the path to AJ so this fight might happen in 2020. and there is video evidence to support this fact.

Third, had Lennox said this about Floyd, there be 1000 pages already agreeing with this ATG. But since he is speaking his opinion, which is fact, then he is a hater. The fight will happen when AJ wants it to happen. And accroding to him, it could be in 2020. That came from his own mouth as well.
