How would a fight between Joshua and prime Lennox Lewis have gone?

Lewis inside 5.

How far out of his prime do you consider Holyfield to have been when Lewis dominated him for 24 rounds?

Very far.

And he didn't dominate him for 24 rounds.

The rematch was a close fight not even close to a domination.

Fine. Dominated Holyfield for 18 rounds. And what was Holyfield’s prime then? Two years earlier when he won the straps?

Lewis would destroy this Joshua. What sort of question is this? Lol

am not dis*****g that but he still got flattened twice.
AJ can flatten him as well.

Maybe after 40 fights we can re-assess and give AJ a better chance, but this AJ who is still learning IMHO, who has been pushed too early IMHO would get flattened by a prime Lewis. I don’t even think AJ has hit his prime yet. You don’t hit your prime after 23 fights at HW.

Well, still doesn't matter. Hez flattening every one brought in front of him except one and hez still firing.
Lenox was a great champ, I can't deny that but at the moment if we compare with fight numbers, AJ is better.
In other words AJ can flatten him in mid/late rounds as well.
My humble opinion.

It definitely matters, because Joshua hasn’t hit his prime yet. If this version of Joshua fights a prime Lewis then it’s a one way destruction. We are not comparing them at 23 fights here, if that’s the comparison then off course AJ wins every time.

well, it's by the way. we all see and analyze things in different ways.
Respect to both guys. I love them both but Lenox has been caught many times criticizing AJ.
Maybe he was paid to do that.

I believe Holyfield won the second fight but Lennox was gifted the decision.

If he went 1-1 with a past prime Holyfield I don’t see him beating a 1993 version with Emmanuel Steward in his corner.

Lewis would beat AJ

Lewis always had the capability to adapt to his opponent
