Joshua is getting the same hate Lennox used to get

[JakeTheBoxer]

"Glass jawed Brit"..It is just the same. The same critics. Lennox was not respected when he was active.

Joshua will be a legend when he retires, I am sure about that. It takes time that people start respect you. they started respecting Lennox 10 years after retirement.

Joshua by upset when he faces Fury

Nice comparison, but no. Lewis is an all time great, Joshua is just popular because you guys like the way his body looks.

Actually no. I am more Fury`s fan. But just the facts: you guys like Lennox because he is retired.

20 years from now, they will talk about the new champ like "he would never beat Joshua and Fury".

He already is a legend. There are only six British heavyweights in history that have held a legitimate version of the heavyweight title.

It’s lennox’s own fault. He had a chance to be Canadian, but when he got into it with Ben Johnson, he was disowned then and there. Being Canadian would have improved his chin automatically.

Lennox was good
Joshua isn’t
Just the reality of things

Once he sparks Fury, they will have no choice but to respect him.

Lennox Lewis also had to earn it by beating Holyfield and Tyson.

Great post from you for the first time.

The guy has already made history despite how young his career is and he’ll be talked about for a long time.

Lennox went the British route because it was more money in the pros. I'm not mad at him, but he's a Canadian fighter. Lewis/Ruddock for the WBC Strap was big here. I doubt anyone gave a **** in England. Too busy watching a stiff breeze knock out Frank Bruno.
