Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Shakes Head at Criticisms From Lennox Lewis

[The plunger man]

That’s the thing Lewis also has the bothas , grants , Briggs and so on.
Joshua has beaten klitchcko , Povetkin’s so he has beaten really good fighters as well as the molinas.
Lewis has to look at who wilder has faced ...Washington , spilka , arreiola so on ...do me favour Lewis and shut up and that’s coming from a poster who travelled to new york and Vegas to see him beat Holyfield.
Lewis is a PBC commentator lol

[Jax teller]

Yes. Ruddock was incredibly underrated. A prime Ruddock beats the Klitschko that Fury and Joshua fought. Ruddock was a top 10 HW for 5 years and was as highly ranked as #3 (1990 and 1991 behind only Tyson and Holyfield)

Another thing people don't remember, Ruddock was considered the favorite going into the Lewis fight.


I'd say he probably beats the Klitchko who fought from Pianeta and on.

I'd like to disagree but don't know much about Ruddock so I'm not gonna pretend I know better.

Still Klitschko and the others so early on with little amatuer experience isn't playing it safe or without risk like the other poster suggested unless you highly regard AJ's level.

prime one, sure easy.

to beat old wlad all you gotta do is avoid till he outgasse if you cant win otherwise.

to beat young razor you need to outbox him.

You say that but no one beat him apart from fury. I’m taking klitchko over a 3x beaten Ruddock any day of the week. Klitchko at the end of his career wasn’t as hopeless as people like to make out

[Fabes88]

Ages matter more than just names do. If AJ KO'd Shannon Briggs in 2 rounds next month, I hope nobody would be bragging about how he did it faster than Lewis did.



Prime for Prime? No.

a 29 year old Ruddock who just went 12 rounds with Mike Tyson and narrowly lost on the cards? Compared to a 41 year old Klit who hadn't fought in 18 months and just got shutout on the cards? Yes.

He lost to tommy Morrison shortly after Lewis. We get it you hate aj but there’s no way Ruddock is beating klitchko. Maybe the green klitchko from the sanders days but not the night he fought aj.

Only 1 of those losses was a legit L. That's why the Tyson rematch was immediately ordered. Terrible stoppage.

This isn't a hate thing, Ruddock was that good. Prime Ruddock beats the past his prime Klit. I don't understand why you think a 41 year old way past his prime Wlad can beat anyone in the world except Anthony Joshua.


And the Morrison stoppage was also terrible. Don't believe me? Turn up your volume.

Both nice guys, of course Lewis was a much greater fighter than Joshua. Lewis an all-time great.

klitchcko would have neutralised rudduck ...he was powerful but limited and he losses proved that ..prime for prime klitchcko beats ruddock 9 times out of 10.
Joshua beat klitchcko in his 19th pro which again is ahead of Lewis who faced ruddock on his 22nd fight..
Here you are trying to compare a fighter who is not even 50% into his resume to fighter who retired at the age of 38...Lewis was great and one of my favourites but at the stage of there careers Joshua more than matches him.
I hope wilder has the balls to face Joshua because I actually want Joshua to body bag him now

[DaNeutral.]

Do you just copy and paste whatever Eddie Hearn says word for word?

Honest question

No. Am I wrong in what I said? If Eddie says something and can back it up with facts making it a very valid point does that mean I'm not allowed to say it?

Do you agree with what I or Eddie has said here or are you just ONCE Again avoiding the subject at hand. That seems to be a running trait of yours. Rather than try to debate the point of the thread you just try to belittle the posters.

Like I said to you the other day your game is weak. You want to mock the point but you can't cuz you know its the truth so you try to mock the posters thus avoiding the subject.

Apparently I need to spread reputation more before I can give you another green k but that post deserves one.

I think he is saying that the Ruddock that Lewis fought beats the Klitschko that Joshua fought.
