Comments Thread For: Joshua Explains Why He Slammed Lennox Lewis, Praises Klitschko

[Thraxox]

“Twenty fights! Twenty fights!” The last thing you fanboys have to grasp to.

I don’t remember Lewis quitting like a bit h in his corner at 23 fights either...or at any point really.

Lewis also chased champions. Joshua is scared of any challenge, or to travel.

He literally just fought at New York. you guys hate AJ so much you forgot what you are saying.

yes he did, and had a panic attack and refused to fight there again after saying he would.

There's a big difference thogh. Joshua never wanted to leave the UK.
He said in the ring directly after the Vlad fight that he didn't have to leave UK, and he should fight Wilder at Wembley.
As soon as he went to New York to fight Ruiz, he looked shook and his body language and general demeanor was of a guy who wasn't comfortable and didn't want to be there - talking about how he had to prove himself all over again.

Lewis on the other hand knew that he had to go to the US to prove himself and embraced it. Same with Fury going to fight Wilder.

Yeah? So wat. You are the same guys also that said that Ruiz are not bind to any contract where Hearn dictates the location. And then gets proven wrong many times over.

But no matter what, any moves AJ does is a form of ducking to you.

There is context to what AJ was saying when he was talking about not NEEDING to fight in the US. Europe has been the home of the heavyweight (heavier divisions in general) for the best part of 15 years. AJ makes more money in one fight than America's top heavyweight of the 21st century has made in his whole damn career.

And let's not bring in Wilder when it comes to AJ. Wilder ducked a career high payday to fight in the B leagues. Till he steps up and fights Fury in Manchester and WHyte in London, he can keep on being a bit part player.

Lewis would have knocked out Joshua in less than 3 rounds MAX. There are levels to this and Joshua will never be mentioned alongside an all time great like Lewis....and if you lot don’t like that, and I can already tell the Eddie Hearn minions don’t, then stick one thumb up ya bum the other in your mouth and then switch em.

Here we go. Same old crystal ball BS.

The reality is...if Joshua and Lennox had a fight now, Joshua would beat him in 1 round. That is the reality of the situation.

We will never know what a prime Lennox v Joshua fight would look like. Yes, likely that Lennox beats Joshua on paper. But Ruiz beat Joshua and no-one game Ruiz a hope in hell of winning.

Its ****** and pointless to say 'So and so would beat this guy if it was 30 years ago'...and actually its just a baseless opinion.

Your reply doesn't answer any of the points I made - it's just a non post.

Just because Joshua went to New York doesn't mean he looked like he really wanted to be there, which he obviously didn't.
He was out of his comfort zone in the UK where everything is in his favour.

I already pointed out that the things he said and the way he acted were making it clear that he didn't really wanted to be there.
Again, he said in the ring after the Klitschko fight that he never had to go to the US.

Exactly...folks on here acting like they were part of Joshua's camp having 1 to 1 psychological evaluations with him.

Too many armchair Psychologists, Promoters and Wannabees.

You really shouldn't post on here if you think Joshua could beat Lewis.
It would look like Lewis - Golota or Lewis - Grant. A short demolition job.
Just totally different levels.
