Comments Thread For: Joshua: My Fantasy Fight Would Be Against Lennox Lewis At Wembley Stadium

am not talking about ranking lol you must be kidding me if you even think i look at ranking in this crooked sport am talking about in my opinion fury beats everyone then wilder because of that 1 right hand that the rest of the division will not be able to avoid for the whole of 12 rounds.

Even at that Wilder is where near the second spot because he has been bums or aged Ortiz. Besides, the other top ten fighters will knock out before he even get the chance to load and swing that right hand. A one trick pony is easy to dismantle virtually by all top guys.

Rahman was 2 time world champion & was a solid fighter in his prime. McCall was also a legit contender & beat some good HWs. AJ more power than Lewis? I don’t know about that. Lennox’s got 1 punched twice but both times he took those opponents lightly. He was never down in a fight other than those 2 big punches. McCall & Rahman were Both big punchers. Lennox’s biggest weakness was arrogance & it cost him twice. Look what he did to Rahman in the rematch. I been around since the Tyson era & Lennox was the best by my generation. The 90s a few losses didn’t mean anything because everyone fought each other

The way Lewis got knocked out those two is more embarrassing than the temple shot that got AJ concussed. AJ is bigger than Lewis and has got power and combo which will be too much for Lewis. I have been watching boxing since the 80's so I saw all the top guys in the 90s from the time they were just promising prospects. Lewis never had the aura of invincible as the like of Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield had in their prime. Vitali Klitschko was winning before the bad cut caused the fight to be stopped. Thus if Lewis and AJ fight in their prime I would have given 60/40 to AJ.

Strong as a rock? Didn't he have a panic attack before the first Ruiz fight?

Since when do we present rumours as fact? And still he is the only boxer who has ever knocked Ruiz down. The next please.

Rahman won his first world title by upsetting Lewis, of course. He won his second by beating Monte Barret for the WBC interim then getting upgraded when Vitali retired.

Lewis was the only prime elite opponent Rahman and McMcall ever beat. They were definitely no better than Any Ruiz.

Well said. That were exactly my thoughts. I have been boxing since the 80's. Lewis beat the top guys who have past their prime.

In a fantasy matchup I’d take Lewis to kick his ass, he’s a much more natural fighter but it wouldn’t be one sided. If Bruno could have some success then it’s not crazy to think AJ could have some too.... just not enough to win.

Comparing Bruno with AJ's boxing is ridiculous, AJ is so much a better boxer than Bruno and Bruno had some success against Lewis. AJ could have knocked out Lewis imo.

Be thankful for dreams, AJ. You wouldn't want that reality. I was at the garden in 2000 or so when Lennox fought Michael Grant. Of all the fights i've been to in my life, that was still the hardest I ever saw anyone get hit. I sat in the middle row and i could hear the punches echo through the arena. I'll always remember the sound of those punches. And I saw both Klitschko's live.

Lewis would absolutely destroy Joshua.It would not even be close. All's Lennox ever did is say what the fans (himself included want) the top fights and not Joshua and the Hearns ten year business plan that was derailed by a fat little man.

the problem with the top guys in this era they themselves are one trick pony's

The only elite I can call one trick pony currently is Wilder. Name the others you consider one trick pony at elite level?

I am not sure about that. Remember Lewis was knocked out twice by average boxers, though he revenged both losses. To me it would have been a 50/50 fight, AJ is bigger and has got more power.

He avenged his losses with KOs. AJ avenged his loss by decision. There are levels to this, and I believe Lennoix is a level above AJ. Lennox also beat much more superior fighters than AJ too.
