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

[Oshio]

25 years from now Joshua will be celebrated as ATG because he's a better fighter with a better resume than Wilder and Fury, has more followership across 4 continents, has the draw, and the money.

[Oshio]

I don't understand why or how people would rate Wilder and discredits Joshua looking at their resume. Ortiz @40 is the only credible HW Wilder has fought and worse, who has Ortiz himself fought? Oh, Fury. He lost that fight. We all know it. He was gifted a draw because Alejandro is on PBC payroll

Lol I love how people create this almighty perception on past generations which well, are absolutely false.
Lewis was at the time of his run was perceived as a boring snot nose Pom that many felt damaged the sport with his long distance jab, constant tying up and holding behind heads illegally while hitting on the break. Although effective for him to win fights didn’t create many fans at the time.
I’d barely call it a golden age either he was just the biggest guy in the division at the time. Then came the klitshko years and now we have atleast 3 huge guys with big power.
We’re in a new era that can’t be compared.

I understand the criticism that AJ got when it came to making the Wilder fight but I also agree with pretty much everything you said regarding Lewis. We hated him in America because of how he fought but at the same time he did beat everybody because he was just bigger. WHen he fought Vitali Klitschko he was lucky to escape with the win.

ive given up even trying to follow the joshua wilder BS, when i saw hearn offering a flat fee at the start i knew something was up and the fight was doomed, seems like it still is

So Razor Ruddock risking it but Klitschko, Povetkin, Whyte etc is playing it safe?

A young, prime Ruddock posed more danger than a 40 yr old Klit, a borderline garbage Whyte and a hardly in his prime Povetkin. That's how I sees its.

[Marvlus Marv]

So you rate razor Ruddock higher than klitchko?

A young ferocious Ruddock more of a threat to Lewis than a 40 yr old Klit recently schooled by Fury was to AJ? I think yes but not necessarily by much. Remember the context here and it's not a like for like comparison.

[Marvlus Marv]

Is he seriously implying that Lennox wouldn't have the stones to say what he said to Joshua's face?
Lennox was the real deal and made his bones the hard way. AJ could learn a thing or two from the Geezer

Yep, AJ thinks the great Lennox is a poosay. Unbelievable.

You're trying too hard and in the process, missing the most basic and obvious point. If it was someone like Price, he wouldn't have any cred. Lewis has walked the walk. If you don't get how that works then I guess I won't be able to explain it to you.

I get that point, but I refuse to have reverence to an opinion, which is not supported by facts. I don't accept someone's opinion because of their name, resume or how popular they are. Regardless of what walks they walked. Lewis is plainly wrong for putting it on on AJ. He can be the god of boxing for all I care, it doesn't change the facts.

I still disagree. If we are remembering context please remember what fury did to wilder after a 2 year ******* layoff. This was a fully fit Tyson fury being “schooled” by him is nothing to Be embarrassed by.

Pove nearly forty , Wlad over forty and Whyte over rated .and these are Joshua's best wins to date!
