Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua: Lennox Lewis is a Clown, I Don't Respect Him!

[rckdees]

This clown is too sensitive to be heavy weight champion....he can’t even take constructive criticism from his own countryman...he’s going to get beat up again

UKAD is no worse than USADA, whether you wish to admit it or not.
Lord knows how many athletes have been covered up over there.

Anthony Joshua is also a Westerner.

Again, you expect more from the "hypejob" than the great Ray Robinson.
How does this makes sense?

Come on man, Sugar Ray Robinson went on a tour to Europe, fought several times there before Randolph Turbin upset him in the UK. I think a fight at home was due. Add context to your point before picking spots, just a little advise -- context.

Are you actually sure about that? Lewis beat every man he ever fought in a very strong era and demolished some excellent fighters. He is very salty regards AJ probably as Joshua is far more popular than he ever was in the UK. However true that is it doesn't change the fact that prime Lewis would beat Joshua handily.

You sound dumb as fu..ck. That era wasn't as strong as some of you make it to be. Yes, it had all the hype in the world but nostalgia most times make people overrate eras. Mike Tyson was regarded as the best in the era for a long time and he wasn't even that great.

Prime Lennox was getting destroyed by Bruno. And Bruno isn't the fighter that AJ is.

Also, AJ has achieved more in 24 fights than Lennox achieved after 24 fights in his career. At this stage of Lennox's career, he wasn't the boxer AJ is right now. Lennox became Lennox after he got knocked out by Oliver McCall and linked up with Emanuel Steward. So AJ still has time - his career isn't over yet.

You mean constant smearing by a bitter old fool? How come Lennox only chases AJ around with his "constructive criticism" and he doesn't do that with other boxers?

[Noelanthony]

Shut up, idiot.

You're one of the bandwagoners that used to su..ck AJ off, now that he lost, you're bitter as fu..ck. This is what happens when you have no life and have to live vicariously through athletes to reaffirm your manhood.

How the fu..ck is Lennox going to smoke AJ? You mean the Lennox that was getting the brakes beaten off his arse by Bruno until Bruno got careless and walked into a big right?

Dumb arse fantasy matchup by an airhead. Lennox also got knocked out cold by boxers AJ would've beaten quite easily

You sound like Lewis sat on your face and promised you more. You weasel . Stop posting with your emotional rants. Now go and wash your face

[DreamFighter]

Are you sure about that? McCall and Raham would disagree. Even Bruno was beating the brakes off Lennox Lewis until one punch changed the fight in the 6th rd and Bruno was never the boxer AJ is.

Nostalgia is a bit..ch.

he beat all the guys you mentioned.

AJ has not beaten ruiz, a fat pointless noone, though he has beaten a 42 yearold so good luck using that angle vs beating prime rahman, mcall and bruno.

Imagine Lewis at any point of his career losing to a pig like Ruiz.

What on earth are you taking about?

Prime Lewis was undisputed champ and he would have knocked AJ out.

AJ didn't singlehandedly put British Boxing back on the map.

Calling him possibly the 2nd greatest British boxer of all time is an insult to British boxing.

Dear me

When did Lennox Lewis become the undisputed? I'm sure he didn't get there until his 36th or 37th pro fight. AJ is just 24 fights and after 24 fights, Lennox was still fighting some Uber driver called Phil Jackson.

And yes, he singlehandedly put British boxer back on the map. All the attention British boxing is getting right now is solely because of AJ. You can live in denial and feign ignorance but it doesn't change the reality. It's also the reason why most Brits took his defeat to heart.

How many Olympics gold medalists in boxing has the UK produced? I can count them on one hand. And since the heavyweight division is the premier division in boxing - he's also the 2nd unified heavyweight champion this country has produced who actually unified - not some clown that won a fluke and got banned for PED without defending his titles. Also, in terms of global notoriety - he might be the most popular British boxer ever.

You fu..cking shi..thead and glory hunter! I remember you used to su..ck AJ's nuts on here with your kunte mouth.

Your grammar su..cks and I'm suspecting you're some road sweeper that lost his life savings betting on AJ. What a fu..cking knob!

Su..ck ya mum with a straw, you peasant!

[ArturoBalboa]

That's a bit strong i'd say. If AJ beats Wilder and Fury he'd have a better resume than Lennox quite soon.

For some reason Lennox Lewis gets very overrated nowadays. I remember when he retired. He was considered a great heavyweight, but really mostly because Tyson and Holyfield aged before he got to them.

Nowadays it seems like Lewis is considered some super great heavyweight.

I understand it, but really looking at his resume it's not like he beat great heavyweights in their prime.

I actually strongly agree with like 90% of the stuff you post on here, but couldn’t disagree more over Lewis.

If you scrutinise most resumes enough you can find holes but Lewis cleaned out that division and avenged his losses. The only guy he didn’t fight, who some considered the boogeyman of the division was bowe, who dumped his belt rather than face Lennox. And while I’m not one for triangle theories, the manner in which he annihilated golota, who beat up and pretty much retired bowe over two fights leads me to believe he’d have beaten Bowe as well.

As well as the resume I’ve always regarded Lewis as one the greatest heavyweights I’ve ever seen just from the eye test and the attributes he possessed. Obviously a great fighter at distance with deceptive speed, great timing and accuracy, one of the best jabs in the division and a bomb of a right hand. But you get past that and he could handle himself on the side, knew how to tie up, lean on and use his weight advantage but could trade as well with rapid short hooks and uppercut combinations.
I honestly think when he was switched on and on his game, and not snarfing pizza or messing about with movie/media distractions in camp, he was was one of the all time great heavyweights.
