    Lennox Lewis seems to be naturally more tough than Joshua both inside and outside of the ring. I dislike the way Joshua lets people step to, and attempt to intimidate him outside of the ring constantly 'I suppose he does handle business in the ring, but sometimes you cannot let these weasels take liberties'.

    Just simple things like? Why on earth was he agreeing to **** fists with Pulev? Joshua let Pulev dictate that situation 'These are school boy tactics fighters throw at him'.

      chinny and fight very cautious after they got rocked

      used to be more offensive minded before their first KO loss.

      If steward was still around (rip) you best believe Joshua would have went to him for Ruiz 2. Atleast he sticked and moved though instead of hugging him to death.

        I think Joshua said if he has half the career Wlad Klitschko has he's lucky. AJ will probably retire with less than 35 fights.

          AJ will surpass Lewis in achievements ,only a matter of time to go full circle . Lewis didn’t like southpaws either , AJ thrives on them and with the new era there’s more fighters that switch up the stances and are bigger athletes.AJ doing great and off to a ATG career .
          Jesus christ ,Fury is going to destroy AJ and thats his career over

          He wont hang them up besting everyone he faced like lewis did ,he will get completely outclassed

            Yeah, Joshua let Ruiz hold his belts, meanwhile last year at an event with Bowe there, Lennox told him “you can’t stand here, go stand somewhere else.” When Bowe tried to stand beside Lewis for the photo lmao.

              LOL it's posts like that that really highlights why your contributions are not the least bit respected. A manufactured coward lol. You so salty. You tend to get worse just after a Joshua victory.

                I believe Hearn wants Joshua to be the next Wladimir.

                Unfortunately, there is another champ around , who is not Joshua`s brother. If Joshua fights Fury, he will get a beating.

                  He puts his punches together, he throws his combination punches in bunches and in addition, he throws his whole body into his punches.

                  Unlike Tyson Fury who throws mainly pitty-pat arm punches; With little to know power on them which explains why he couldn't put Wilder away.
                  You should think twice... you make some pretty eyebrow raising statements regarding technical matter. May I suggest something? Go to Youtube and search for remastered Sonny Liston... You will get a very viewable fight with a no name fighter contender at the time...

                  Heres why this is relevant: Forget Liston and look at all the things the contender does in two rounds... Parry, circle/angles, counters, feints, defensively tight guard, body work... And the footwork, we just don't see.

                  Now look at an AJ, Klitsko fight... watch the flinching, the straight arms shooting out (Vlad), watch how limited Joshua is...
                  Then watch Fury. You will see footwork, angles, feints, defensive positioning, footwork...it will look a lot more like a complete fighter with many skills.

                  Heavyweights do not have to try to punch hard to get concussive force... Fury, aside from flanging his elbows out occasionally (not a good habit) hits as hard as he needs to. Look at his KO percentage.

                  If Joshua finds a way to beat Fury it would suprise me.

                    Yup. Probably so. If we were bookies in Vegas... we would have to figure out the odds for this one... The first question would be... What is AJ's path to victory? Let say he hurts Fury with a big punch... He cannot cut the ring down, has medium speed regarding feet, has basically a right and an uppercut which can be avoided. REally common sense should tell us, baring a miracle leap in learning curve, that at best AJ can hurt Fury.

                    Fury on the other hand: Has a chin to take a Joshua right... Has shown the ability to win at a distance, finish an opponent, uses his reach impeccably, feint, has many punches and an inside game, fast feet...

                    Against a common ATG One man went life and death, the other... made it look easy.
